[G][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
I fell asleep [Am]on your sofa,
And had a dream about a small child,
In dungarees,
Who caught his hands in the
doors of the Paris metro.
Then my face cracked open
and you were there,
You were there dressed [Asus4]in green,
[Am]Saying something obscene.
But that's why I came here
in the first place,

[Verse 2]
Oh well that and the tea.
[Am]
Can I stay [Dm]here,
Lying un[F]der the table togeth
[E]er with you now[Am]?
Can I hold [Dm]you?
[F]Forever [E]in acrylic afternoons
I [Am]want to hold you [Dm]tight
Whilst [F]children play outside
[E]And wai[Am]t for their mothers
to [Dm]fin ish with lovers
And [F]call them inside for

[Interlude 1]
their tea.
[E][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Cushions and TV,
And [Asus4]the table set for tea.[Am]
One for you, one for me.
Come and lie down on the settee,
In that green jumper,
You can have anything you want.
And the clock is saying,
It's half past four but you know,

[Verse 4]
I want to stay a little more.
[Am]
Can I stay [Dm]here,
Lying un[F]der the table togeth
[E]er with you now?
[Am]Can I hold y[Dm]ou?
[F]Forever in [E]acrylic afternoons
I [Am]want to hold you [Dm]tight
Whilst chil[F]dren play outside
[E]And wai[Am]t for their mothers
to fin[Dm]ish with lovers
[F]And call them inside for their tea.

[Verse 5]
[E]On [Am]a[Asus4][Am]

quilted eiderdown,
I want to pull [Asus4]your knickers down.
Net cur[Am]tains [Asus4]blow[Am]
slightly in the breeze.
Lemonade [Asus4]light filtering
through the trees.
It's so [Am]soft and it's warm.
Just another cup of tea please
(one lump thanks).
