          C#
There's a portrait
     G#
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent
              B
And gaze for hours on
    A#m                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         G#
Of some imaginary friend

So how about it?
Show me please how I will look in twenty years
And let me please
Interpret history in every line
and scar that's painted
There in front of me

Chorus:
           C#
It doesn't matter
          G#
What I'm thinking
        F#
What I tell myself to do
          C#    F#
I end up calling

I stay in to defrost the fridge
Now the kid has gone to bed
A feeling of dread
At least when she's around the trouble's there
It's worse to wake up with her
falling round the room

Chorus:
Listen Johnny
You're like a mother to
the girl you've fallen for
And you're still falling
Listen Johnny
You're like a mother to
the girl you've fallen for
And you're still falling

             B
And if they come tonight
       A#m
You'll roll up tight
     F#              G#
And take whatever's coming to you next
(oh, oh oh oh)
