[Em][Am][F][Bb][F][C][Em][Am]
[F]
[Fm][C]

[Verse 1]
I promise [Em]not to rip you off
[F]And I promise not to sel[Dm]l you out[F]
[Fm]I will never s[Em]moke all your
Stash if I happen to
Find it whilst tidying up -
Which, let's [Fm]face it, isn't likely
[F]
[Fm]Well, we would always leave you
At least a joint's worth, [E]anyway[Em]
[G]And I will nev[Em]er eat the
last bit of cereal
And then put [G]the empty packet
[Fm]Back, hoping you won't notice, or if I
Do, I'll pay for the next lot, i promise
[Em]'Cos[C] I know that rea[F]lly
gets [Em]on your nerves
[C]And I wil[G]l never sleep wit[Fm]h any
Of your friends - well
[F]Not your best [G]friends

[Verse 2]
[C]I don't know just what I'm meant to do
[G]I don't want to make it wrong for you
[F]How can we escape what's happened to
[Fm]All those others who've
gone [Bb]before us two?
[C]Baby, we have lived together
[G]Now we'll do it all forever
[F]Hold my hand, don't ever let it go
[Fm]Close your eyes, hold tight,
and [Bb]here we [C]go

[Verse 3]
[Em]And how [F]do we avoid being like
All those other cheese masters?
[Bb]Demo[Fm]nstrating the facilit
[F]ies of their new
Car [Fm]and [F]the [Em]trouser press
[Am]
[Em]From hunter-gatherer to to washer-dryer
[F]Is [Fm]Is a long, strange [Em]trip
And what if our [C]kids turn [F]in to
Pudgy [Fm]blobs, wearing Union
[F]Jack [Fm]underpants
Addicted to [G]coffee whitener?
[Em]Bloated caricatures of something
[F]Vaguely recognisable [E]as a
human [Fm]being
A human [Dm]being that you [G]once loved

[Verse 4]
[C]I don't know just what I'm meant to do
[G]I don't want to make it wrong for you
[F]How can we escape what's happened [G]to
[Fm]All those others who've
gone [Bb]before us two?
[C]Baby, we have lived together
[G]Now we'll do it all forever
[F]Hold my hand, don't ever let it [Fm]go
Close your eyes, hold tight,
and [Bb]here we [C]go

[Verse 5]
So this [C]is it: We're walking
down the [Csus4]aisle
[C]The dawning of a new[Fm] era[C][Csus4]
Is [C]this the start of
A new airbrushed Disney-life
Or some 36 [Csus4]part
[Fm]depressing-as hell
Northern [Csus4]drama to be
Repeated every night for the
Rest [C]of our lives? Oh
and now I'm frightened
Oh yeah,
[Csus4]I'm shitting Barratt houses here
Is this the right thing?
[C]And then suddenly I'm turning to look
At your face and I'm saying:
"I do", [Csus4]"I do", "[C]I do"[G]

[Verse 6]
[C]I don't know just what I'm meant to do
[G]I don't want to make it wrong for you
[F]How can we escape what's happened to
[Fm]All those others who've
gone [Bb]before us two?
[C]Baby, we have lived together
[G]Now we'll do it all forever
Hold my [F]hand, don't ever let it [G]go
[Fm]Close your eyes, hold tight,
and [Bb]here we go
