[Intro]
(Bass, implied chords
Eb    Cm    Ab    Abm    )
                  One, two, one, two, three, four!
(Guitar enters)
Eb    Cm    Ab    Abm    x2
 
[Verse 1]
         Eb ~
Any more words, I think you've spoke enough
           Cm ~
'Cause the pubs are empty and they're closing up
                     Abmaj7 ~
When you're spitting spite as fast as saliva
             Abm ~               Abm ~
But with the prose of a standard English drunk, she says
Eb*
"I hope the saltwater ruins your clothes
      Cm*
And I hope you spend the rest of your life sleeping alone
           Ab*
I hope the problems that make your life harder
    Abm*                               Abm*
Sit stubborn in your stomach like your kidney stones", and yet
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb*
All this over a kiss
Fm*
You weren't there, why you pressed by this?
Cm*
Now it's turning three in thе morning
    Bb
The bouncer's put you on his third warning
But I'm still herе, I'm not leaving
 
[Chorus]
Eb                               Cm
Yo-o-ou won't get what you need (All this over a kiss)
              Abmaj7
You know it's always the same
 
It's all just a game
     Abm
If I had it my way, you'd sleep on the concrete
Eb                            Cm
Floor, what'd you say to me? (All this over a kiss)
               Ab
'Cause I'm not sure
        Abm                         Eb
I'm not sure they'd let you off easily
 
[Instrumental]
(Eb)   Gm    Fm    Ab
 
[Verse 2]
       Eb ~
It's a pissed-off march up to bus stop station
     Cm ~
With pissed-up eyes glossed with early conversations
        Ab ~
And the consequence of your desperation
       Abm ~                           Ab Ab  Ab Ab  N.C.
Is the people on the night bus have to listen to you
    Eb                             Cm
And all I'm saying is, how can you look at yourself in the window pane
        Ab
Without wanting to hit yourself?
         Abm ~                     Abm ~
But your fist descends through the condensation
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb*
All this over a kiss
Fm*
You weren't there, so why you pressed by this?
Cm*
Now it's turning three in the morning
    Bb
The bouncer's put you on his third warning
                                     N.C.
But I'm still here, I'm not leaving
 
[Chorus]
Eb                           Cm
You won't get what you need (All this over a kiss)
              Abmaj7
You know it's always the same
 
It's all just a game
     Abm
If I had it my way you'd sleep on the concrete
Eb                            Cm
Floor, what'd you say to me? (All this over a kiss)
               Abmaj7
'Cause I'm not sure
        Abm
I'm not sure they'd let you off easily
