xWhen the Romance Is Dead – The Beautiful South
A E A
You’ll know when the romance is dead
D A E A
Your make up in a toolbox somewhere in the shed
D A E A
His face is unshaven, the grass overgrown
D A E A
From the shed to the bed is a web you call home
A E A
You’ll know when the romance is dead
D A E A
That deathly cold blast from his side of the bed
D A E A
Your dreams frozen over, your nightmares on ice
D A
From the bedroom to the bathroom you say
E A E A
Everything twice (everything twice)
D A E
And you’ll know when love starts to fade
D A E A
You burst into tears at each record that’s played
D A E A
He sits in the sun, you sulk in the shade
D E A
You’ll know when the love starts to fade
A E A
You’ll know when the romance is dead
D A E A
From the brambles and thorns growing out of your head
D A E A
Whenever you touch her she tuts or she sighs
D A E A E A
One kiss goodnight and she’s rolling her eyes, rolling her eyes
A E A
And you’ll know love starts to fade
D A E A
That balancing act is no longer made
D A E A
Like penny stacked high in amusement arcade
D A E A
It’s not what you’re worth it’s the way that you’re laid
D E A
Yes you’ll know when the love starts to fade
Dsus
Like you knew when romance was alive
E Dsus
Each couple you passed they’d smile and high five
Like you’ll know when love’s back on track
E Dsus E
Uncontrollable laugh at each joke that you crack
Dsus
Giggle and cackle and throw her head back
E Dsus E
Her mouth is still smiling, her veins turning black
Dsus E
Her head is elastic but her neck is all slack
A E A
You’ll know when love’s on the rocks
D A E A
You wearing headphones, him vest and socks
A E A
You’ll know when love’s on the slide
D A E A E A
Whenever your talking, the kids go outside, (kids go outside)
D A E
You’ll know when romance is dead
D A E A
When the look that you get is as hard as the bread
D A E A
You open your mouth but your stories are stale
D A E A
From the front door to back door it’s blowing a gale
D E A
You’ll know when love starts to fade
