verse 1 

     C                        Dm 
In a terraced house in Rubery haunts 
    G               
The ghost of something awful 
  F 
A crushing dark and normal 
         C                          Dm 
Like the night we made yr parents divorce 
G 
Days spent playing rebels 
F                        C                   F  Dm  F 
Pushing our own funerals forwards, forwards 


verse 2 

         C                              Dm 
I almost fucked you on the couch in the lounge 
G 
Teenagers are useless 
F 
Cause a brittle Christmas 
        C                                 Dm 
And the glass shards sparkle sharp in the snow 
G 
Outside for the romance 
F                         C 
Inside for the lust and I want you, want you 
F                    Dm  F 
(Want you, want you) 
  C 
I want you, want you 
F                    Dm  F 
(Want you, want you) 




  C 
I heard you kept a diary 
   Dm 
Of all the gone-wrongs 
      F 
And I know you won't believe me 
  C                   F 
I think yr one of the lucky ones 

(Lucky ones) 
  C               F 
I think yr one of them 


verse 3 

               C                        Dm  
You walked the long way with yr dignity crumbed  
   G 
If yr your mother's anger 
F 
I'm my father's grave 
          C                           Dm 
And we're back on our old shaky ground 
    G 
You don't believe in ghosts 
         F                        C                      F  Dm  F 
But that terraced house in Rubery haunts you, haunts you 
   C                      F  Dm  F 
It haunts you, haunts you 




  C 
I heard you kept a diary 
   Dm 
Of all the gone-wrongs 
      F 
And I know you won't believe me 
  C                   F 
I think yr one of the lucky ones 

(Lucky ones) 
  C               F 
I think yr one of them
