Intro: C/G, Fmaj7/C, C/G, Fmaj7/C, C/G, Fmaj7/C, G, C
C Fmaj7/C
I'd heard some rumours on the grape vine,
C Fmaj7/C
some whispers down the phone line,
C Fmaj7/C G C
and this digital age provides the ocular proof.
C Fmaj7/C
No man's amused of being jealous
C Fmaj7/C
but I dont get over zealous.
C Fmaj7/C
What you do with your life now,
G C
baby's up to you.
Fmaj7/C
Sometimes a man can get stuck
C/G
when scared of being grown up,
Fmaj7/C C/G
confused by playing happy families.
C Fmaj7/C
So I accept that times are changing,
C Fmaj7/C
with people rearranging,
C Fmaj7/C
and there's a new man at your table
G C
up in up in Turnpike Lane.
Fmaj7/C, G, C
C/G Fmaj7/C
Now I don't know the details,
C/G Fmaj7/C
in fact I've not thought much on this at all,
C/G Fmaj7/C
and I would hate to cast dispersions
G C
or be seen as cruel.
C/G Fmaj7/C
Who cares if his hair is thinning,
C/G Fmaj7/C
if he's home from work on time?
C/G Fmaj7/C
Perhaps he even likes a few new bands
G C
he read about online.
C Fmaj7/C
So what if his eyes are close together,
C Fmaj7/C
some even like that better,
C/G Fmaj7/C
and if you can put up with that weird smile
G C
then I'm sure it's fine.
Fmaj7/C
So good luck with your new man,
C
I hope it goes to the plan
Fmaj7/C C
and that he's not run over by a train.
C Fmaj7/C
Because I bet he is a nice guy,
C/G Fmaj7/C
like a really, really nice guy,
C/G Fmaj7/C G C
in fact he's probably the exact opposite of me.
Fmaj7/C, G, C
C Fmaj7/C C Fmaj7/C
He's not fanatical, delusional, obsessive or emotional,
C Fmaj7/C
he wants a job, a house, a dog
G C
when all I wanted was you.
C Fmaj7/C
And even if he doesn't know
C Fmaj7/C
the things that I know that you know I know,
C Fmaj7/C G C
he's confident, polite and drinks responsibly.
Fmaj7/C
So good luck with your new man,
C/G
I'm sure it works out fine,
Fmaj7/C G
let's hope he isn't struck down with a plague.
C Fmaj7/C
So you can invite me to your wedding,
C Fmaj7/C
but from the front row you will see
C Fmaj7/C
that he might be a lot of things
G C
but he's not me.
