I ought to leave enough hot water
for your morning bath but I'd not thought, I

hate to hear you talk that way
C Am G D Em D
but I can't bring myself to say I'm sorry

G D Em D

the past is always knocking incessant
trying to break through into the present

C Am
we have to work to keep it out G D Em D
and I won't be the first to shout it's over



Am C Am C G D Em D
I used to wanna plant bombs at the last night of the proms
Am C Am C
but now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom
Am C D


with that big shell listening to the sound of the sea

I steal a kiss from you in the supermarket
I walk you down the aisle, you fill my basket

C Am
and through it all the stick I take
C Am
is worth it for the love we make


Am C Am C G D Em D
I used to wanna plant bombs at the last night of the proms
Am C Am C
but now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom

with that big shell listening to the sound of the sea

G G G G G D C
the baby and me


G D Em D
I stayed in bed alone, uncertain
then I met you, you pulled the curtain

C Am
the sun came up, the trees began to sing and
C Am G D Em D
light shone in on everything, I love you

C Am
the sun came up, the trees began to sing and
C Am G D Em D
light shone in on everything, I love you
