[E]
Counting out quarters at the record shop London calling and the pressure drop
Skipping double dutch with your sister's friends The landlord's calling for the rent again
If [F#] all I have is all I [A] need, all I need is all I [E] have
Why is all I ever [B] want is more?
[E] Why [F#m] can't I see the sweet things until they're all [A] gone?
[B] [F#] Why can't I see the sweet things until [A] they're all gone?

Shoebox clothes, birthday cards

All I got is me and you
