E7 I'm alone I'm not with you A7 When I get in at night, the many facets of the conversation E7 Roll around inside my head Who's going with who? Who's going with you? You are the girl who for a twist plays ventriloquist The other boys line up to be your pooch B7 But if I draw a circle and I walk around it C#m7 You're the piggy in the middle E7 But I love my little pig until it hurts I want to dance Give the boy a chance I want to lose myself in 1986 The darkened cinematic days of love and trance Your crisp white tee(-shirt) Rockabilly (Hurts) An army of affected youth they're cute in boots I look at her the girl is looking back at me And with a thought that cuts me She will turn and curtsey to her rockabilly boyfriend It's too late the damage done Chorus: E I will catch them on the stairs D I'm like a bad smell that stays A They will turn round and see me C They will kiss stroke and feel E Just for my benefit: the boy voyeur B C#m His camera makes up for what he's lost A E You know I know you're the Queen B But when there's nothing to rule G# Who is the fool? G# E7 Wait for spring I want to sing E7 A7 Sleep is a drag love is the drug flu is the bug E7 I got my bag it's full of stuff I want to bring There is a club There is a girl Give her the secret sign that I'll be there A little clue, maybe she'll pick it up, maybe she'll pass But I go into the building and she's over by the bar By the time they play New Order She is over in the corner Chorus: And she's telling me stuff I think she feels pretty rough She has to lean on my shoulder She is drunk, I am sober And I take her confession It's the coolest little session of the month As I take her confession I confess I've got my hand under her blouse You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A7  B  B7  C  C#m  C#m7  D  E  E7  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
