[Verse 1]
Cmaj7              G
You think he'd realize
G              Dm
But he's infatuated with ideas
                                       Cmaj7
Of possessions and far-flung social policy
Cmaj7                  G
His daddy works on the Council
G                            Dm
His missus loves the silver spoon
Dm                       G
Swore she'd never kiss a Tory
G                             Cmaj7
But this boy was too good to lose
Cmaj7           G
And I'll listen carefully
G                        Dm
With ears pressed to the floor
Dm
As you make your way downstairs
G                         Cmaj7
You haven't got far to fall
Cmaj7
Now it's red, now it's dead
Cmaj7
Now it's everything she needed
G
Now it's four, open doors
G                              Dm
Pillows pressed under your knees
Dm
Now it's a sad, sappy sucker
      G                 C
To ensure her the ending

I've been scared of sleeping with the lights on

If you've got none to lose
Dm                                 N.C. Cmaj7
If he's still infatuated with the truth
Cmaj7                 G
So will you do what's easy?
G                     Dm
Or will you do what's right?
Dm
Please just could you let me know
