[Gm] [Em] [G] [Em]
[G] [Em] [G] [Em]
[G] [Em]
You and I are victims of a love that lost a lot in the translation.
[C] When I think of all the time [Am] that I spent sitting [G] on the end of your bed [Em] in [G] [Em] anticipation.
[D] Of you giving [Em] [C] in and thus living [G] in [Em] sin.
A hot day, the smell of hairspray and the
sound of a shower running [G] [Em] softly.
[G] [C] [Am] It seems like this would remind me how I felt
the first [G] time you came back for [Em] coffee.
[D] The way you [Em] took it [G] amazed [Em] me.
[G] [Em] Walking in the park, kissing the dog and my head against [G] your [C] pillow.
[Am] [C] Late [Am] at night a lover [G] [Em] [Am] [G] sings.
[Em]
[D] Adam and [Em] Eve are finding [C] out all [G] about love.
[Em]
[D] I say Adam and [Em] Eve are [C] finding out all [G] about [Em] love.
[G] [Em]
[G] [Em] [G] [Em]
[G] There is no real [Em] substitute for a ball struck squarely and firmly.
[C] You're the kind of girl who wants [Am] to open up the bottle [G] of pop too [Em] early [G] in the [Em] journey.
[D] Our love [Em] went flat just [G] like [Em] that.
[G] [Em]
[G] [Em] It doesn't matter the colour of the cover
[G] what goes [Em] on beneath [G] the [Em] voyage.
[C] [Am] It's that flag that flies above your heart
and [G] it's my name written there [Em] upon it.
[D] Learning cake and toothpaste [Em] equals [G] love and [Em] pain.
[G] [Em]
[G] [Em] Walking in the [G] park, [Em] [Am] kissing on the [G] carpet [Em] and your tights around your [C] ankles.
[Am] [C] Late [Am] at night a lover [G] thinks of these things.
[D] Adam and [Em] Eve are [C] finding out all [G] about [Em] love.
[G] [Em] [D] I say Adam and [Em] Eve [C] are finding out all [G]
about [Em] love.
[G] [D]
Adam and Eve [Em] are [C] finding out all [D] about.
Adam and Eve [Em] are finding [C] out all about.
[D] Teresa and Steve [Em] are finding [C] out all [G] about love.
