Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 There are things in my wallet I will never use

 I'm the 51st member of a god awful group

Connected by rain, they said you're all the same

 But I don't know, I don't know if they're telling the truth

(Verses cont. with same chords and rhythm

Like a field of rice I've grown out of

An Olympian came to fill the shoes you knew

Oh who can reach the circuits that I could never twist

So now you can cross me off that god damn list

 Cos there's always that someone who'll be easier on your eye

 So forget the politics of living alone and just dance til the morning light

I saw you in the background the other day

On a television see some story grey

You were sat on the steps of the new courthouse

Spinning that wheel, you said you'd show me how

You chased me through a carriage on a train

But I reached the next one before you came

And I pulled out the pin between yours and mine

I kept going, you got left behind

 Cos there's always that someone who'll be easier on your eye

 So forget the politics of living alone and just dance til the morning light

I heard you were looking for a man to leave

But I can tell you that I'm not the one you need

I'm always three steps behind the dance and the times

Well if I can't change for you, then I won't change for me

Oh as stubborn as it is, as stubborn as I am

I can tell you that there is no pearl in this clam

Or a diamond maybe, I stole its seed

But it was only to try and get you home with me

 When there's always that someone who'll be easier on your eye

 So forget the politics of living alone and just dance til the morning light
