Dr SSS---------------SSS---------------SSS---------------SSS------------- [No bass drum until full drums]
[Verse - No drums - just fast strums on muted chords]
You used to get it in your [D] fishnets
Now you only get it in your [Bm] night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for [Em] niceness
Landed in a very common [A] crisis
(drums in)
Everything's in order in a [D] black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the [Bm] past though
That Bloody Mary's lacking a [Em] Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a [A] rascal?
[Chorus - Full drums stop - just double stabs]
Oh, that boy's a slag ([Em] [Em] double snare - &4 = ds)
The best you ever had ([A] - ds)
The best you ever had ([Em] - ds)
Is just ([Em] - ds) a mem ([A] - ds) ory and ([A] - ds) those
(full drums in) [Em-222000] dreams
Not as daft as [A] they seem
Not as daft as they [Em] seem (stop on crash)
My love when you [G] (crash) dream them up...
[Verse - Drum pick up is Bass drum on Flicking and Snare on Little ]
(B)Flicking through a (S)little book of
(full drums) [D] sex tips
Remember when the boys were all el [Bm]ectric?
Now when she's told she's gonna [Em]get it
I'm guessing that she'd rather just for [A]get it
Clinging to not getting senti [D]mental
Said she wasn't going but she [Bm]went still
Likes her gent le men not to be [Em]gen.....tle (3 snares then drums stop)
Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting [A]pen....cil?
[Chorus]
Oh, that boy's a
(full drums) [Em] slag
The best you ever [A] had
The best you ever [Em] had
Is just a [A] memory and those [Em] dreams ([Em] - ds)
Not as daft as [A] they seem ([A] - ds)
Not as daft as they [Em] seem (drums back in)
My love when you [G] dream them up...
(full drums but accent is 1xx4
Oh Flo [F#m] , where did you [Bm] go?
Where did you [Em] go?
Where did you [F#m] go? Wo [Em] oh.
