G#         Cm
It's 3:45 (AM!)
                   D#
And I just bite my tongue
                   Gm
Update me on your life
                         G#
And now you've found the one
                      Cm
But I don't like his eyes
                      D#
And I distrust their name
                  Gm
And I hate their haircut,
                  G#
they look like a prick (A PRICK)

But it's all the same
Would be daft of me to cry
Your tongue is razor sharp
I miss when it would fight mine
Left your heart on standby
By the way he holds you
Bet he serenades you
I can't really blame you

Chorus:
                           G#    D#
And I can still smell her perfume
G                     G# D#
Did it rub off on you?
G                          D#    G#
And I can still smell her perfume
G
Did it rub off on you?
G#              Cm
You say your ex-boyfriend's a policeman
D#               Gm
Well, I say you need better standards
G#              Cm
You say your ex-boyfriend's a policeman
D#             Gm
I say you need better standards!

It seems like all her friends
Abruptly fell in love
And she was in the dust
Darling, life was streaming past
So she learnt to lie
She learnt how to pretend
A drama in the futile
A means to an end
Why can't you be a dick?
Why must you be so nice?
It's hard for me to move on
When I don't really hate you
(I don't really hate you)
(I don't really hate you)
(I don't really hate you)

Chorus

It's 3:45
The taxi's not arrived
I don't think that he's coming
