C                                           Am
Don't call it a fight when you know it's a war.
F                               G
With nothing but your t-shirt on.
C                                             Am
And go sit on the bed 'cause I know that you want to.
F                                          G
You got pretty eyes, but I know you're wrong.

And don't call it a spade if it isn't a spade
Go lie on the floor if you want
The first bit of advice that you gave me that
I liked was "They're too strong, too strong"
Get in the shower if it all goes wrong

Chorus:
          C                                             Am
Yeah you wanna find love then you know where the city is
          F                                             G
Yeah you wanna find love then you know where the city is
          C                                             Am
Yeah you wanna find love then you know where the city is
          F                                             G
Yeah you wanna find love then you know where the city is

Yeah, counting cards was the best job he ever had
Cleaning up
He got good with his fours and his twos
Community service was the best job he ever had
Cleaning up
He got sick on the floor and his shoes

         C
Oh and she said it's your birthday,
         Am
Are you feeling alright?
     F
The next one's the MD.
                         G
You'll be feeling just fine.
        C
Your brother is just sat there,
    Am
You said he felt snide.
     F
You hope that that boy will be alright.

Chorus

Yeah, well, she said
"It's your birthday, are you feeling alright?"
The next one's the MD,
you'll be feeling just fine
Your brother is just sat there,
you said that you felt snide
You hope that,
that the boy will be alright
