Leftovers Johnny Flynn
Leftovers by Johnny Flynn
Standard Tuning
Capo 4th Fret -
[C]I've been [F]drooling at some [C]mangy scr*ps of [F]bread
And these hungry voices make a lot of noise inside my head
[G]Show me the way to the rubbish dump or the [F]bins at closing time
[C]I've walked a mile just to [F]catch a smile from a [C]fish without its [F]brine
[C] [F] [C] [F]
Been [C]hanging round the [F]underground
Found a couple of crumbs down there
Was lucky and got some flotsam
She [G]said her name was Mary May and
She [F]liked the springtime most
She said she [C]left her meals
[F]Half ate she said and she [C]left the crusts of [F]toast
[Am]Leftover[C]s is what I want
Don't need no fine cuisine
Give me a dime for bacon rind
Or slip me some of that old sardine
She'd been seeing a man named Jim
I said I didn't mind
Said that second place is just my style
Like glasses for the blind
I thought she was kin to kind
I knew I'd met my match
And I was sure that I had locked the door
And she had dropped the latch
Leftovers is what I want
Don't need no fine cuisine
Give me a dime for bacon rind
Or slip me some of that old sardine
I said "bring your dark eyes honey"
She said "you bring yours"
Said I don't take second glances
As she walked out the door
I walked after her and waved her down
And asked her why she left
She said she only dealt leftovers
And that all else felt like theft
Leftovers is what I want
Don't need no fine cuisine
Give me a dime for bacon rind
Or slip me some of that old sardine
Leftovers is what I want
Don't need no fine cuisine
Give me a dime for bacon rind
Or slip me some of that old sardine
If you see her, say hello
She'll be out handing scr*ps
But don't be fooled, her heart is ruled
By forces off the maps
Show me the way to the rubbish dump or the bins at closing time
I've walked a mile just to catch a smile from a fish without its brine
Leftovers is what I want
Don't need no fine cuisine
Give me a dime for bacon rind
Or slip me some of that old sardine
