  D     G

[Verse 1]

D                          G
   Have you ever had fancy lover?
D                            G
   Gone crazy tryin’ to keep up with her?
                D                               G
Its like you're standing in the darkness in the theatre up the back,
D                                                                 Em
joining her ovation when you wish you could distract and take her home.
           A
You had to try,
Em                   D            A                        D      G
    don't some great loves start,  with someone aiming too high?

[Verse 2]

D                            G
   Have you ever had a fancy lover?
D                                    G
   Thrown everything that you've got at her?
          D                               G
She's the winter that's so bitter you cut wood all summer long,
      D                 G              D            G
She's two long years of thinking going into one old song,
              Em                   A                   D
and that aint good, you were doing fine, you knew your chances
         A            G
and your place in the line..

[Chorus 1]

G                      D                       Em
Fancy lovers they need,  fancy lovers of their own,
                       C        A
you'll camouflage your soul for them.
G                                D
 Where do they get to meet their own kind of people?
           Em           C                 A            Bb      D
Is there a light on the steeple that only fancy people see?

[Verse 3]

D                             G
When you try and keep a fancy lover,
D                               G
  you force her hand and then discover,
         D                G          D               G
that she wouldn't look so perfect if it was just for you,
         D                   G
is there someone behind your shoulder
         D                G
that she may have noticed too?
             Em                   A
You'll never know,  you had to be in.
Em                            A                   D
     You bet on hearts girl,  even when you won't win.

[Bridge]

C                      G                D
       And then she'll take the field against you,
          Em                        F#m
fighting above your weight and your height.
            G               D
One hundred ways to hit the canvas,
           C                F#
a thousand days to beat the count.
