       E
As you kissed me under
    B
the influence that
G#m
night it was Christmas
B            E
Eve You said to me that
      B
I was the strangest
         G#m
creature you had ever
F#           E
seen We made love on
      B              G#m
dirty laundry awkwardly
          B
listening to David Bowie
    E          B
And you closed your

eyes   and I said goodbye

Oh I saw a cross on

"I don't want to die

in this place Or   leave
              B
this world in such a
               E
state" I always knew
         B
it was never my fate

Cause the only constant

we've ever known
    E
has been change

earning minimum wage
    E
And don't even bother
 B
stealing my phone because
     G#m                 B
the screen is cracked anyway
    E                 B
And everything I ever cared

         E
When you close the door

to leave Well I know I'm
          B
