[Verso]
      Bm               A   Bm
When we walked the streets together
Bm                       A    Bm
All the faces seemed to smile back,
Bm                         Em
And now the pavements have nothing to offer
D       Em                      Bm    A  Bm
    And all the faces seem to need a slap

         Bm           A  Bm
There’s an unfamiliar grip 
Bm                   A  Bm
on an unfamiliar handkerchief
Bm
Attending to the tears on cheeks 
Em             D  Em
I wouldn’t notice 
Em                         Bm       A   Bm
With you no matter how vicious the grief
Bm           Em          D    Em
Her expression was damp and crooked 
Em                       Bm     D    C# G
Grabs onto my throat and won’t let go

[Refrão]
A     F#    Bm D C# G
Won’t let go
A     F#    Bm D C# G
Won’t let go
A     F#    Bm D C# G
Won’t let go

Bm     D    C# G
Save me from
A     F#
The secateurs
Bm       D  C# G
I’ll pretend
A       F#
I didn’t hear
Bm         D
Can’t you see
C#           G       A     F#
I’m the ghost in the wrong coat
Bm      D   C#   G   A  F# Bm
Biting butter and crumbs

There’s a handsome maverick 
Bm                         A  Bm
You don’t talk about to keep me calm
Bm                    Em           D   Em
And I can't help it if I create a version
Em                   Bm     A   Bm
That pulls you back onto his arm

      Bn D     G   F#
Please don’t tell me
Bm        D   G    F#     Bm    D  G  F#
You don’t have to darling, I can sense
Bm   D  G   F#     E    D
That he painted you a gushing sunset
C#         A            Bm      D  G   F#
And slayed angry panthers in your defence.
 Bm   D    G    F#      E    D
And he stands separate and ever deadly
C#                    Bm    D     C#  G
Clings onto my throat and won’t let go

[Refrão]
A     F#    Bm D C# G
Won’t let go
A     F#    Bm D C# G
Won’t let go

Won’t let go

Save me from

The secateurs

I’ll pretend

I didn’t hear

Can’t you see

I’m a ghost in the wrong coat

Biting butter and crumbs
