D
There was a wayward lad, stepped out one morning
The ground to be his bed, the sky his awning

D             G
Neon, neon, neon
        A                               D
A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field
                               G
Cows surround so you lean on, lean on
    A                         D
So much your hugs become hold ons

Chorus:
D                    G
Oh these three worn words
                      Em
Oh oh-oh-oh, that we whisper
 E                A        A/G          F#m
Like the rubbing hands of tourists in Verona
                                   D
I just want to love you in my own language

F#m         E                 D
Well that smell of sex, good like burning wood
Bm           A        D
The wayward lad lay claim
F#m      E                 D
To two thirsty girls from Hornsea
Bm          A                 D
Who left a note when morning came

"Girls from the pool say, "Hi" (Hi)
The road erodes at five feet per year
Along England's east coastline
Was this your first time?
Love is just a button we pressed
Last night by the camp fire"

Chorus
