Standard (EADGBE)

 You’ll know when the romance is dead

 Your make up in a toolbox somewhere in the shed

 His face is unshaven, the grass overgrown

 From the shed to the bed is a web you call home

 You’ll know when the romance is dead

 That deathly cold blast from his side of the bed

 Your dreams frozen over, your nightmares on ice

 From the bedroom to the bathroom you say

Everything twice (everything twice)

 And you’ll know when love starts to fade

 You burst into tears at each record that’s played

 He sits in the sun, you sulk in the shade

 You’ll know when the love starts to fade

 You’ll know when the romance is dead

 From the brambles and thorns growing out of your head

Whenever you touch her she tuts or she sighs

One kiss goodnight and she’s rolling her eyes, rolling her eyes

 And you’ll know love starts to fade

 That balancing act is no longer made

 Like penny stacked high in amusement arcade

 It’s not what you’re worth it’s the way that you’re laid

 Yes you’ll know when the love starts to fade

 Like you knew when romance was alive

 Each couple you passed they’d smile and high five

Like you’ll know when love’s back on track

Uncontrollable laugh at each joke that you crack

Giggle and cackle and throw her head back

Her mouth is still smiling, her veins turning black

 Her head is elastic but her neck is all slack

 You’ll know when love’s on the rocks

You wearing headphones, him vest and socks

 You’ll know when love’s on the slide

Whenever your talking, the kids go outside, (kids go outside)

You’ll know when romance is dead

 When the look that you get is as hard as the bread

 You open your mouth but your stories are stale

 From the front door to back door it’s blowing a gale

 You’ll know when love starts to fade
