[Verse 1]
E
Well, oh, they might wear classic Reeboks or knackered Converse
A
Or tracky bottoms stucked in socks
(A)
But all of that's what the point is not
Am
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
E
And there's the truth that they can't see
(E)
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
A
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Am
Agree that there ain't no romance around there
[Chorus]
C#m Bm
You know, oh, it's a funny thing, you know?
A
We'll tell them if you like
Am
We'll tell them all tonight
E
They'll never listen
C#m
Because their minds are made up
F#m B *
And 'f course it's all OK to carry on that way
[Verse 2]
E
'Cause over there there's broken bones
A
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
(A)
And it doesn't take no Sherlock Holmes
Am
To see it's a little different around here
E
Don't get me wrong though there's boys in bands
A
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
(A)
And just cause he's had a couple of cans
Am
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead
[Chorus]
C#m * Bm *
Don't you know, oh, it's a funny thing, you know?
A *
We'll tell them if you like
Am *
We'll tell them all tonight
E *
They'll never listen
C#m *
Because their minds are made up
F#m * B *
And 'f course it's all OK to carry on that way
C#m*
But I said no,
Bm *
Oh no!
A * Am *
Well you won't get me to go
E A
Not anywhere, not anywhere
(A) Am ... E
Oh, yeah
