When the Romance Is Dead The Beautiful South
A E A
Youll know when the romance is dead
DAE A
Your make up in a toolbox somewhere in the shed
DA E A
His face is unshaven, the grass overgrown
D A E A
From the shed to the bed is a web you call home
A E A
Youll know when the romance is dead
DA E A
That deathly cold blast from his side of the bed
D AE A
Your dreams frozen over, your nightmares on ice
DA
From the bedroom to the bathroom you say
E AE A
Everything twice (everything twice)
D AE
And youll know when love starts to fade
D A E A
You burst into tears at each record thats played
D A E A
He sits in the sun, you sulk in the shade
D EA
Youll know when the love starts to fade
A E A
Youll know when the romance is dead
D A E A
From the brambles and thorns growing out of your head
D A E A
Whenever you touch her she tuts or she sighs
D A E A E A
One kiss goodnight and shes rolling her eyes, rolling her eyes
A E A
And youll know love starts to fade
D A E A
That balancing act is no longer made
D A E A
Like penny stacked high in amusement arcade
D A E A
Its not what youre worth its the way that youre laid
D E A
Yes youll know when the love starts to fade
Dsus
Like you knew when romance was alive
E Dsus
Each couple you passed theyd smile and high five
Like youll know when loves back on track
E Dsus E
Uncontrollable laugh at each joke that you crack
Dsus
Giggle and cackle and throw her head back
E Dsus E
Her mouth is still smiling, her veins turning black
Dsus E
Her head is elastic but her neck is all slack
A E A
Youll know when loves on the rocks
D A E A
You wearing headphones, him vest and socks
A E A
Youll know when loves on the slide
D A E A E A
Whenever your talking, the kids go outside, (kids go outside)
D A E
Youll know when romance is dead
D A E A
When the look that you get is as hard as the bread
D A E A
You open your mouth but your stories are stale
D A EA
From the front door to back door its blowing a gale
D E A
Youll know when love starts to fade
