B G#m F#
Use a pen to reflect

what you've got left to protect

on the old dusty shelves
in your childhood room

posters of Simon LeBon
G#m F# E
all might help you decide
In case you ever try
B G#m F#
They just want you to come by
E
The florist in foam

A rigid folk’s home in time that I might cry

We’d give it all to be that dumb again

How far apart we are
