[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
