garage rock, indie rock, modern rock, permanent wave
I meshed together the chords and the tab of two people who previously posted, and made it a little easier
for beginners like myself. There are no barre chords in this version.
Capo on 2nd (on 4th to be in the same key as the song)
Strumming pattern I used: 3 down strums for each chord on each line
C Am Dm G x2

[Verse]
C
You used to get it in your fishnets
Am
Now you only get it in your night dress
Dm
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
G
Landed in a very common crisis
C
Everything's in order in a black hole
Am
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
Dm
That Bloody Mary's lacking a Tabasco
G
Remember when he used to be a rascal?
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh that boy's a slag
G
The best you ever had
Dm
The best you ever had
G Dm
Is just a memory and those dreams
Dm
Not as daft as they seem
G
Not as daft as they seem
F
My love when you dream them up...
[Verse]
C
Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Am
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Dm
Now when she's told she's gonna get it
G
I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it
C
Clinging to not getting sentimental
Am
Said she wasn't going but she went still
Dm
Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle
G
Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh that boy's a slag
G
The best you ever had
Dm
The best you ever had
G Dm
Is just a memory and those dreams
Dm
Not as daft as they seem
G
Not as daft as they seem
F
My love when you dream them up...
Em Am
Oh, where did you go?
Dm
Where did you go?
Em Dm
Where did you go? Woah.

[Bridge]
C Am
Falling about
Dm G
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
C Am
You were just sounding it out
Dm G
You're not coming back again.
