| Dm | |
| at some | mutual friend's gathering |
| A | C#m | |
| and the | more you keep on | looking |
| F#m | |
| the more it's | hard to take |
| Bm | |
| love, we're in s | tale mate |
| Dm | C#m | |
| to | never meet is surely where we're | bound |
| Bm | |

| just there to grind you down |

| Bm | |
| well maybe I did and | I missed it |
| Dm | |
| too | busy with a mind on clever rhymes |
| A | C#m | F#m | |
| why not the | rounders pitch or | the canteen |
| Bm | |
| you're slacking love, where have | you been? |
| Dm | C#m | |

| Bm | Dm | A | |
| sipping on a lemo | nade in the | paper cup and chewing on the s | traw |
