Intro:
F Bb Riff 1
Verse:
On the day that your mentality
Bb Riff 1 Bb C Dm
Decides to try to catch up with your biology
Come round...
Cause I want the one I cant have
And its driving me mad
Its all over, all over, all over my face
Break:
Verse:
Riff 2 Am Bb C
On the day that your mentality
Riff 2 Am Bb C
Catches up with your biology
I want the one I cant have
And its driving me mad
Its all over, all over, all over my face
A double bed
Riff 1
And a stalwart lover for sure
These are the riches of the poor
A double bed
Riff 1
And a stalwart lover for sure
Bb C Riff 4
These are the riches of the poor
And I want the one I cant have
And its driving me mad
Its all over, all over my face
Break:
Verse:
Riff 2 Am Bb C
A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails
Riff 2 Am Bb C
Raised on prisoners aid
He killed a policeman when he was
Thirteen
And somehow that really impressed me
And its written all over my face
F Bb Riff 3
Oh, these are the riches of the poor
F Bb Riff 3
Bb C Riff 4
These are the riches of the poor
I want the one I cant have
And its driving me mad
Its written all over my face
Riff 2 Am Bb C
On the day that your mentality
Riff 2 Am Bb C
Catches up with your biology
And if you ever need self-validation
Just meet me in the alley by the railway station
Its all over my face
Oh...
End on Dm
