Bad Cover Version Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro D/D7M Em/Em7 A/A6 X2

Verse 1

DThe word's on the street: yEmou've found someone neAw.

DIf he looks nothing like meEm I'm so happy for yAou.

CI heard an old giArlfriend has turnDed to theF♯ church -

Cshe's trying to rAeplace me, but it'll never wDork.

 'Cos every touch reminds yBmou of just how sweet it could have been

EmAnd every time he kisses you it Gleaves behind the

 bitter taste of saccharine. D

Verse 2

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 life-like effect.

Chorus

(Not really sure of the chord here probably G)

Aah, sing your song about all the sad imitations that

 got it so wronDg

DIt's like a later "Tom & Jerry" when the tEmwo of them

could talk

 Like the AStones since the GEighties, like the last days

 of SouthforDk.

DLike "Planet of the Apes" on TV, the sEmecond side of "'Til the Band Comes in"

 Like an owAn-brand box of cornflakes: he's going to let

 you down my frieDnd.
