Running [D] off over next door's garden before the hour is done
It's more a [E] question of [F#m] feeling than it is a [G] question of fun
The confidence [E] is the battle of clover, I'm sure you'll baffle them good
With the ending reek of [F#m] salty cheeks and runny [G] make-up alone
Or we'll put a [E] run down [C#m] the face of a boy who hasn't been [D] scorned
Will you find yourself in a [F#] skirmish?
[A] Will you wish you'd never been [D] born?
You tie [E] yourself to the tracks [F#m] and there is a no [D] going back
And it's wrong, wrong, [A] wrong, but we'll do it [G] anyway cos we love a bit of [B] trouble
[F#m] [B]
[A] [F#] [B]
[G] [F#] Are you [A] pulling her from a burning building or throwing her to the [D] sharks?
Can only hope that [F#m] the ending is as pleasurable [G] as the [D] start
The confidence [E] is the [F#m] battle of clover, I'm sure you'll baffle [D] them straight
And it's wrong, wrong, [F#m] wrong, but you can [C#m] hardly wait
[B] That's right, he won't let her [A] out of his sight
Now the [G] shaggers perform and the [B] daggers are drawn
Who's the crooks in this crime?
[G] [Bm] That's right, [B]
he won't let her [Bm] out of his sight

Quite unassuming [F#m] but you were the day where the naughty issue
