Verse 1: Em B7 The smiles as she walked in the room Dm Am have all turned into frowns am I too quick to assume Em B7 that the love is no longer in bloom Dm Am The tantrums and the tears play a very different tunes to what they Em B7 did before Their heads red raw Dm Am And the ending doesn't sound like the happiest around When you Em B7 Dm sobbed before it felt much more like the product of the squabble Am Now there's reason for it to be something more Chorus: (note: Alex Turner uses bar chords for the Chorus) Am And there would be G Oh its uncertain whether the curtain has shut for good She Am said 'see if it's still raining but I'm not dressed for it, and if you loved me...' B7 And I interrupt to receive the scowl and stare But still decided to stop her there Verse 2: (note: Alex Turner starts to finger pick here higher up on the fret board, but i haven't figured that part out. instead just finger pick the chords and it'll sound ok) Use these chords when you finger pick:
     Em      B7      Dm      Am

Em B7 Would it be too outrageous to say Dm Am We're either shouting or we're shagging locked in tempestuous phase Em B7 At least that's how we felt yesterday Dm Am The eyes are getting heavier and whether you're sleep or Chorus: (note: return to bar chords) Am awake is a mistery G Would a kiss be too much to ask Am When you fit me as sunday's frozen pitch fits the thermos flask It's a pity B7 It just hit me we can't go back To the chest touching on the back
