Em
Sitting in a mess still undressed
C                       D
As a kettle whistle blows
Em
Paperback novelette still open
C                    D
And the door is closed

Em D C     D         Em D C
You got a real sick mind
C            D              Em D C
You write a column for The Times
C            D           Em
For all the lovers gone blind
         D             C  D
Who are looking for a sign

Chorus:
Em    D       C       D
And when the night is over
G         D        C  D
And the drugs are gone
Em          D           C          D
All you've got is your four leaf clover
     G      D         C   D
You keep inside your coat
Em    D       C        D
And when the night is over
G        D         C  D
And the drugs are gone
Em            D        C       D
You feel the world is getting colder
     G     D       C  D
You got no one to hold

Six pages down and she's lighting up
Her trainwreck soul
She was abandoned by her lover
Left by the road
So apalling, scrawling those bullshit words
It's thirsty work
She'll stumble down to the boozer
Just to have a flirt

You got a real sick mind
You write a column for The Times
For all the lovers gone blind
Who are looking for a sign

Chorus

     G     D      Em  D C
You got no one to hold

Em D C                  C
You got a real sick mind
F#                   Bm  B
You got a real sick mind

Chorus:
And when the night is over
And the drugs are gone
All you've got is a four leaf clover
You keep inside your coat
And when the night is over
And the drugs are gone
You feel the world is getting colder
You got no one to hold

You got no one to hold
You got no one to hold
You got no one to hold
