Verse
[D]Oh, the word's on the [Em]street
You've found someone [A]new[D]
If he looks nothing lik[Em]e me
I'm so happy for y[A]ou
Pre Chorus
[C]I heard an old [A]girlfriend
[D]Has turned to the [F#]Church
[C]She's trying to [A]replace me
But it'll never [D]work
[(A)] [(G)]

Chorus
[D]'Cos every touch reminds you of
[Bm]Just how sweet it could have been
[Em]And every time he kisses you
It leaves [G]behind the bitter taste of saccharine
A bad cover version of love
Is not the real thing
Bikini-clad girl on the front
Who invited you in
Such great disappointment
When you got him home
The original was so good
The one you no longer own
And every touch reminds you of
Just how sweet it could have been
And every time he kisses you
You get the taste of saccharine
It's not easy to forget me
It's so hard to disconnect
When it's electronically reprocessed
To give a more lifelike effect
Now come on!
Oh, sing your song
About all the sad imitations
That got it so wrong...
Bridge
It's like a [D]later Tom and Jerry
When the [Em]two of them could talk
Like the [A]Stones since the [G]80s
Like the last days of Sout[D]hfork
Like Planet of the Apes on TV
The [Em]second side of 'Til The Band Comes In
Like an [A]own-brand box of co[G]rnflakes
He's gonna let you down, my [D]friend
Tell me 'bout it...
