G#m		      B
What if I told you I loved you
C#m		         E
What if I court you in rhyme
	G#m		       A
In this world there's nothing left
		     B
Well nothing that's new

G#m		       B
What if I told you without you
C#m		    E
Loving is simply a lie
	      G#m	    A
I'm belching blues into the night
		 B		        C#dim
Oh tell me your mine, please say it's true

Chorus:
G	       Em
Oh, shame it's over
C	   C#   D
I was the last days of them all
G	      Em
Well, push me over
      C	        C#	     D
I'm flat on my back and I'm having a ball
		     D#
And just look who's laughing

What if I flew like a dove, dear?
What if I wooed you in rhyme?
There's nothing left
Nothing that's good left for me now

Oh, I'll just go and sleep with strangers
I'll live like a lord in a tower
Carouse in the sin, take in too much air
And I can't dream at night
Well, not anymore

Chorus:
Oh, shame it's over
It's been such fun and we've had a ball
Well, push me over
But I'll be the last of people to fall
Well, just look who's laughing

Oh, shame it's over
Howl like a cow bloated on grass
Well, push me over
Me on my back and you on your arse
Such a shame it's all over
There are so few days left to grasp
So push me over
Me on my back and you on your lazy old arse
Well, just look who's laughing
