Verso 1: 
Am            C 
I walk by the water and I 
Cmaj9            Am 
Head for your house 
Though I know that you'll be out 
In some dirty city bar 

I stand on your street 
And I stare at your room 
And the shadows play and move 
And your brother comes out with a bat 

Dm        G 
Sayin that 
          C   Cmaj9    Am 
You might be with your sister in Paris 
Dm          G 
On the Rue turnau 
        C     Cmaj9   Am 
Wearing Marline Ditrik glasses 
Dm               G 
Where we made that bet 
     C    Cmaj9      Am               Fmaj7 
That bet that I knew you'd win for sure 
                       E 
When you where sick on the floor 

Verso 2: 
The denim is ripped 
Beneath the patch 
It's an itch I can never scratch 
Now it's so far gone the past 

The fines I'm 
Having trouble to contest 
With the library book you kept 
The one that sent your head so far west 

Far far away 
In those continental cities 
Where they get in a race 
To see who can build the tallest buildings 

Where you went for some space 
And wound up 
With a slightly reddened face 
And a pain in your gut 

Verso 3: 
I turn on the TV 
And I see there your face 
And in it there's not one trace 
Of that old brown bowl of lace 

And that bowl of lace 
Is sat beside the gas bar fire 
Where you probably laid 
Eating ice cream chocolate lollies 

That your mother brought home 
From the freezer store 
On the old kent road 
She too had enough 

And that look on your face 
That you'd throw accross the dinner table 
In the middle of grace 
With your fathers eye closed shut tight 

And it happend like that 
Every damn night 
That I had to come 
To your house 

Well tell Charles Okief 
That I don't want to go to Paris 
It's sunnier hear 
And I'm happy in this loveless marriage 

With the girl from the pru 
And your father and your sister 
And your mother too 
And not forgeting you
