[Verse]
Bb
From way far across the sea
F
Came an Eritsean maiden, she
Gm
Had a one track mind and eyes for me
Gm
Half blinded in the war
Cm
With a pale young Anglican
F
Who said he'd help her all he can
Bb Eb
Showed her Jesus and his little unholy friend
Cm
She had no notion to please him
F Bb
Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind
Bb
There's a little boy in a stairwell who says
F
"I hate people like you"
Gm
I got matches and cable TV
Gm
half of less than 50p
Cm
We all clambered over the balcony
F
Banging on the window, waking Steve
Bb Eb
Bringing with a new love his unholy friend
Cm
Singin' if you really need it you
F Bb
Just won't leave it behind
Bb Eb
So baby please kill me baby don't kill me
F
But don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't wanna see them anymore
[Refrain]
Bb Eb
Please kill oh baby don't don't kill me
F
Just don't bang on about yesterday
Ya know I wouldn't know about that anyway
[Verse]
Bb
She said to the mouse before
F Gm
If she loved anybody more than he
Gm
It turns you into stone
Cm
Now I'm reversing down this lonely street
F Bb
To a cheap hotel when I can meet the past
Eb
And pay it off and keep it sweet
Cm
It's sweet like nothing no
F Bb
It's just like nothing at all
Bb F
Yes I've seen you there how could I help but stare
Gm
It rips the heart out off your body
Cm
Now I've taken far too much to think
F Bb
Or see or touch what's real I'm stranded on this street that
Eb
Paved my only way home
Cm F Bb
You really need it you just won't leave it behind
[Refrain]
Bb
Oh please kill me
Eb
oh no don't don't kill me
F
don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't want to see him anymore
Bb
Please kill me
Eb
Oh no don't kill me
F
And don't try joke about yesterday
You know I wouldn't know about that anyway
Bb
Oh no
[Solo]
[Outro]
Cm Eb
He got nothin', no
Cm Bb
He got nothin' at all
