G  D/F#  Em
Go, go, go
G  D/F#  Em
Go, go, go
           D
Push him away

G  D/F#  Em
No, no, no
G  D/F#  Em
No, no, no
                D
Don't let him stay

    A
He gets inside to stare at her
The seeping mouth, The mouth that knows
     G
The secret you
Always you

    A
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh, smear this man across the walls
        G
Like strawberries and cream
                                   D
Its the only, its the only way to be
 A                    D A
(Its the only way to be)

  G
Exactly the same clean room
  Em
Exactly the same clean bed
           G
But I've stayed away too long this time
          Em
And I've got too big to fit this time
