Tom: G

G
Oh darling why you talk so fast
                                D
Another evening just flew past tonight

And now the daybreak's coming in
                                G
And I can't wait and it aint right

G
You told me all you've done and seen
                                    C
And all the places you have been without me

Well I don't really want to know
    G
But I'll stay quiet and then I'll go
        D                               G
And you won't have no cause to think about me

CHORUS:
G                           C                   G
Theres a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
        C                               G
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
G                           C                   G
Theres a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis
        D                               G
But he's a liar and I'm not sure about you

G
Oh darling you're so popular
                                D
You were the best thing new in Hicksville

With your mohair suits and foreign shoes
                                        G
News is you changed your pick-up for a Stockville

G
And now I'm lying here alone
                                                  C
And your out there on the phone with some star in New York

I can hear you laughing now
    G
And can't help feeling that somehow
        D                       G
You don't mean anything you say at all
