  			verse 1 
D 
I'm alright 
D 
If you asked me 
D        F#  E   D 
But you never do 
D 
Is this thing on? 
D 
I'm coming at you 
D             F#    E    D 
From beside a dirty canal 
D 
And I've never felt better 
D      F#   E    D 
Since I let her go 
D 
You find out 
D 
Who your friends are 
D                  F# 
When the city's cold 
        E          D 
And you speak like a child 
D             F#         E           D 
And I've been reading the French press 
D             F#    E     D 
And I've been disconnected

D 
And people used to say 
D 
Under their breath 
D    F#      E       D 
That you got the looks 
D 
And I got all of the rest 
D                            F# E 
Did it work out for the best? 
D 
And brother don't you know 
D 
Brother don't you know 
D    F#      E        D 
That jealousy's a curse 
D 
And what's worse is the silence 
D 
It's strange 
D                F#    E    D 
Are you moving out of range?

verse 3 
D 
Keeping alright 
D 
That's good to know 
D 
The cup runs over 
F#        E 
At the overflow 
D 
Well nothing happens here 
D 
The time ticks slow 
D 
Where the money walks 
F#           E 
And the hard air blows 
D 
In the same shirt 
D 
With the same crack 
D                  F# E 
In the same window 
D 
Drinking from a French press 
D 
Fiona's changed address
