C F we want to send postcards to the friends we used to have , Am G F G rub their noses in the ugly fact that we are still alive , F G and we play , C Am lovers reggae , F G on accordion and banjo , F G when the moon is high . F G C Am and we lie on the floor , F G get suspicious of the people F G who’ve just moved in next door . C F the bad taste in our mouths , C the twinkle in your eye F good things never last G bad things never die . intro wind chime from tahiti that we found down at the auction , tolls its minor chord . and i can’t think of one thing in this whole wide blessed world , that’s more dangerous and frightening , than you when you get bored . and we go though , scads of money . don’t know where it comes from , don’t know where it goes . and we stare , out the window see the poison flowers the neighbours grow , sprouting up in nice neat rows . the swelling in our limbs , the twinkle in your eye , good things never last , bad things never die . intro x2 . 5
