[D]
[F#m] [Fm]
[Em]
[A] [D]
He's pining for her, [F#m] in a people carrier
[Em] There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that
[A] But architecture won't do
[G] Although [D] it might say a lot about the city or town
[F#m] I don't care what they got, keep on turning [F] them down
[Em] It don't save the things that she does
Don't [A] even try and cheer him on because it [G] just [D] won't happen
[F#m] [F]
[E] [Em]
[A] He's [D] got the feeling again, this time [F#m] on the aeroplane
[Em] There might be tellies in the backs of the seats in front
[A] But Rodney and Del won't do
[G]
[D] Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains
[F#m] Life when it falls through the park but you're feeling the same
[Em] Cause she isn't there to hold your hand
She [A] won't be waiting for you when you land
It feels like [Bm] she's just [G] nowhere near
And you [Bm] could well be out [G] on your ear
[Bm] Closely followed [G] by the fear
[Em] And the thoughts of it [A] makes you feel a bit [D] ill
[G] [F#m]
[F] [Em]
[A]
[D] Yesterday I saw a girl who looked [F#m] like someone you [E] might knock [Em] about with
And [G] I almost [A] shouted
And [D] then reality kicked in within [F#m] us
It seems as we become the [Em] winners
You lose a bit of something
I [A] wonder if you wanted it [Em] all
Don't stay [Bm] out cause you've [G] got no idea
And [Bm] she is still [G] nowhere near
And [Bm] the thought comes followed [G] by the fear
[Em] And the thoughts of it [A] makes you feel a bit
[D] ill
[F#m] [C#] [F#] [Fm]
[Em]
[A]
[D] Spare in the departure lounge
[F#m] It's one and they'll still be [E] around [Em] at three
No signal and no [A] battery
What's happened to it?
[D]
