Am
Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment, but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah
Regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things
that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window
of the limousine
Of course it's fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns and how

Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment, but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah
Regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things
that we've already seen
I wanna see you take the jackpot out
the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand that
You can never beat the bandit, no

Chorus:
                      F
And she won't be surprised and
she won't be shocked
            Dm
When she's pressed the star after
she's pressed unlock
             F
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
         Dm
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
            F
You should bear that in mind tonight
(bear that in mind)
                 Dm
yeah you should bear that in mind tonight
(bear that in mind)
                   F
You can pour your heart out but
her reasoning will block
Dm
Ought you send her after nine o'clock

Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment, but
Tonight there'll be some love, oh
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah
Regardless of what's gone before

Chorus
