Intro:
======

E                     G#m
I came downstairs one new years day,
F#m
As scatty as a westcoast mainline train
        E                   G#m         F#m
And you said something that I can still remember.

     E                      G#m
Your specs come off and the lights dim down,
           F#m
The floral wallpaper turns a vomit brown
        E               G#m                     F#m      G#m, Gm, F#m
And you look at me with distain beyond my comprehension.
                    E(v3)
You said you were ashamed..........

E                   G#m
I can't believe my luck,
           F#m
There's an 8.15 to Euston, i hope the london fog swallows me up.
E                                        G#m
You could be right and it could be me to blame,
                 F#m
But how come you sat me down, dressed me like a clown,

You said you were ashamed.......
