Tom : D

[Intro]
D F#m
He's pining for her, In a people carrier
Em
There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that
A7
But architecture won't do
D
Although it might say a lot about the city or town
F#m
I don't care what they've got keep on turning them down
Em
It don't say the funny things she does
A7
Don't even try and cheer him up, because
D
It just won't happen

[Intro]
D F#m
He's got the feeling again, This time on the aeroplane
Em
There might be tellys in the back of the seats in front
A7
But Rodney and Del won't do
D
Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains
F#m
Laugh when he falls through the bar. But you're feeling the same
Em
'Cause she isn't there to hold your hand
A7
She won't be waiting for you when you land
Bm G
It feels like she's just nowhere near
Bm G
You could well be out on your ear
Bm E
This thought comes closely followed by the fear
G F#m Em A7
And the thought of it, Makes you feel a bit.
(PAUSA)
Ill...
PONTE: D F#m Em A7

[Solo]
  D  F#m  Em   A7    D
Yesterday I saw a girl
F#m Em
Who looked like someone you might knock about with
A7
And almost shouted
D
And then reality kicked in within us
F#m
It seems as we become the winners
Em
You lose a bit of summat
A7
And half wonder if you won it at all
(PAUSA) Bm G
And don't say 'owt 'cause you've got no idea
Bm G
And she's still nowhere near
Bm E
And the thought comes closely followed by the fear
G F#m Em A7
And the thought of it, Makes you feel a bit
(PAUSA)
...Ill
D Bm
Despair in the departure lounge
F#m G F#m Em
It's one and they'll still be around at three
A7
No signal and low battery
(PAUSA)
What's happened to me?
