Intro: C/G, Fmaj7/C, C/G, Fmaj7/C, C/G, Fmaj7/C, G, CCFmaj7/C
I'd heard some rumours on the grape vine,
CFmaj7/C
some whispers down the phone line,
CFmaj7/CGC
and this digital age provides the ocular proof.
CFmaj7/C
No man's amused of being jealous
CFmaj7/C
but I dont get over zealous.
CFmaj7/C
What you do with your life now,
GC
baby's up to you.
Fmaj7/C
Sometimes a man can get stuck
C/G
when scared of being grown up,
Fmaj7/CC/G
confused by playing happy families.
CFmaj7/C
So I accept that times are changing,
CFmaj7/C
with people rearranging,
CFmaj7/C
and there's a new man at your table
GC
up in up in Turnpike Lane.
Fmaj7/C, G, CC/GFmaj7/C
Now I don't know the details,
C/GFmaj7/C
in fact I've not thought much on this at all,
C/GFmaj7/C
and I would hate to cast dispersions
GC
or be seen as cruel.
C/GFmaj7/C
Who cares if his hair is thinning,
C/GFmaj7/C
if he's home from work on time?
C/GFmaj7/C
Perhaps he even likes a few new bands
GC
he read about online.
CFmaj7/C
So what if his eyes are close together,
CFmaj7/C
some even like that better,
C/GFmaj7/C
and if you can put up with that weird smile
GC
then I'm sure it's fine.
Fmaj7/C
So good luck with your new man,
C
I hope it goes to the plan
Fmaj7/CC
and that he's not run over by a train.
CFmaj7/C
Because I bet he is a nice guy,
C/GFmaj7/C
like a really, really nice guy,
C/GFmaj7/CGC
in fact he's probably the exact opposite of me.
Fmaj7/C, G, CCFmaj7/CCFmaj7/C
He's not fanatical, delusional, obsessive or emotional,
CFmaj7/C
he wants a job, a house, a dog
GC
when all I wanted was you.
CFmaj7/C
And even if he doesn't know
CFmaj7/C
the things that I know that you know I know,
CFmaj7/CGC
he's confident, polite and drinks responsibly.
Fmaj7/C
So good luck with your new man,
C/G
I'm sure it works out fine,
Fmaj7/CG
let's hope he isn't struck down with a plague.
CFmaj7/C
So you can invite me to your wedding,
CFmaj7/C
but from the front row you will see
CFmaj7/C
that he might be a lot of things
GC
but he's not me.
