[Gm] [Eb] She said this [F] is a vigorous speech.
[Fm] And I [Gb] said, you mean vigorous?
She said, no, [Eb] figment, because she could never imagine it happening.
[Bb] But it did.
[Eb] [Ab] [Fm] [Ab] When we first met, I [Eb] played the chalet lady.

[F] She guessed first.
[Bb]
The [Gm] next day, when we [Eb] went on a bus ride to the ferry, and nobody came to collect [Fm] our fares,
[Bb] well, I knew this was [Dm] something [Gm] really special.
[Eb]
I couldn't stop thinking about her.
[D] And every time I turned [Ab] on the radio, there was someone [Eb] else singing [Bb] about her.
It [Dm] was like being on a fast ride at the [Ab] funfair.

[Bb]
[A] I thought about [Gm] her eyes, [Eb] and the curve of her breasts, [Gm] and the [F] point where their bodies [Bb] were.
[Gm] [Eb]
I [E] confronted her [Fm] about it.
[Eb]
I said, [Fm] I'm the [Bb] most illegible bachelor in town.
And she [Fm] said, yeah, [F] that's why [Ab] I can never understand any of [Eb] those stupid letters you send me.
[Db]
[Bbm] [Bb] And then one day it happened.
[Cm]
She phoned me, Tory, and I stopped loving [F] her.
