Standard (EADGBE)

When you were satisfying your thirst for success

  And you looked older than I did

I didn't think that that was you at your best

  We were only lonely little kids

  Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes

We were little kids

  And you could say sorry ten billion times

  But sorry didn't do what you did

  I threw myself at you and I threw myself away

  Amidst stacks and stacks of slacks and black platform shoes

Johnny Cash died today and you say, you say things

  Lovely things, to lovely other people

  And I'm not invited.

  But I love the back garden at my parents' place

  And I love the view out of my Glasgow window

  And I love waking up on the floor of a flat in New York,

  And you don't know any of these things.

  And I've seen you selling shoes but you've never heard me sing

  And I used to hate your boyfriend and the things you did

  Somehow I found out and I was disappointed

  But I don't need therapy because I have cigarettes

  And I don't have any bad memories only bitter regrets

  Johnny Cash died today and I could take a train

  And take an hour to think on the way of what I would say when I saw you

  And I could walk into the shop and buy myself some black platform shoes

  Talk to all the other girls and just ignore you

  Or I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you

'cause I adore you

  I could rush into the shop and tell you that I adore you

  Johnny Cash died today and you'd say, you'd say

  It's not like Elvis

  It's not like Elvis

  It's not like Elvis

  It's not like Elvis

  though is it And you would be right
