[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][D][G][D][C][D]
[G][D][C][D]
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 1]
[G]Shir[Bm]ley[Em]
It's quite ex[D]citing to [C]be sleep[D]ing
here in this [Em]new r[Bm]oom
[G]Shir[Bm]ley[Em]
You're my [D]reason to [C]get out [D]of
bed be[Em]fore [Bm]noon
[G]Shirley[Bm][Em]
You know [D]when we sat [C]out on
[D]the fire escape talk[Em]ing[Bm]
[G]Shir[Bm]ley[Em]
What did [D]you say about [C]running [D]before
we were walking?
[Em][Bm][Am][C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Sometimes when we're as cl[C]ose as this
It's [G]like [D]we're in a [G]dream[D]
[Am]How can you lie there and
[C]think of England
When you [D]don't even know
who's in the team

[Verse 3]
[G]Shir[Bm]ley[Em]
Your sexual [D]politics have [C]left
[D]me all of a [Em]muddle[Bm]
[G]Shirley
[Em]We are j[D]oined in the ideo[C]
[D]logical [Em]cuddle[Bm][Am][C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]I'm celebrating my love [C]for you
With a [G]pint of [D]beer and a new [G]tat[D]too
[Am]And if you haven't noticed[C] yet
I'm more im[D]pressionable when my cement

[Interlude 1]
is wet
[G][Em][C][D]
[G][Em][C][D]
[Em]

[Verse 5]
Politics and [Em]pregn[E]ancy
Are de[Am]bated as we empty our [C]glasses
And [G]how I [Em]love those evening
classes
[C]

[Verse 6]
[G][D]
[G]Shirley[Bm][Em]
You really [D]know how to make
[C]a y[D]oung man angr[Em]y[Bm]
[G]Shirley[Bm][Em]
Can we get through the [C]night
[D]without mentioning [Em]family?[Bm]
[Am][C]

[Verse 7]
[Am]The people from
your [C]church agree
It's [G]not [D]much of a ca[G]reer[D]
[Am]Trying the handles of pa[C]rked cars
[D]Whoops, there goes another year
Whoops, there goes another pint [G]of [Bm]beer[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[D][C]
[D][Em][Bm][G][Bm][Em][D]
[C][D][Em][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 8]
Here we are in our [C]summer years
[G]Living [D]on ice cream [G]and chocol[D]ate kisses
[Am]And would the leaves fall from[C] the trees
If I was [D]your old man and you

[Verse 9]
were my misses?
[G]
[Bm]Give my gr[Em]eetings to the
[D]new brunette
[G]Shirley
[Em]Greetings to[D] the new brunette[G]
Shirley
[Am]Greetings to the new b[C]runett[G]e
Shirley
[Am]Greetings to the new b[C]runett[G]e
[Am]Shirley
