Running off [E] over next door's garden before the hour is done
[B] It's more [E] a question of feeling than it is a question of [D] fun
The confidence is the battle of clover, I'm sure you'll battle them good
With the ending reek of [F#m] salty cheeks and runny [B] make-up alone
Or we'll put a run [A] down face, or avoid a [G] [D] bloodless scorn
We'll find yourself in a [A] skirmish where you wish you'd [G] never [D] been born
You tie [F#m] yourself to the tracks, and there is a [Gm] no going [D] back
And it's wrong, [A] wrong, wrong, but we'll do it [D] anyway, cause we love a bit [B] of trouble
[F#m] [B]
[A] [F#] [B]
[G] [A] [F#] [N]
Pulling her from a burning building or throwing her to the [D] sharks
And only [E] your happy ending [A] is as pleasurable as [D] a star
The [E] confidence is [F#m] the battle of clover, I'm sure you'll battle [D] them straight
And it's [E] wrong, wrong, [F#m] wrong, but you [C#m] can hardly wait
[B]
That's right, he won't let her out of his sight
Now the shaggers [G] perform and the [B] daggers are drawn
Who's the crooks in this crime?
[G] [Bm] That's right, he [G] won't let her [Bm] out of his sight

[B] You knew that it would be [F#m] trouble right before the [G] very first [C#] kiss

Sorry, sweet, I'll [F#m] have a draught, but [B] he won the battle of clover

_ Running off [E] over next door's garden before the hour is done
