Verse 1:
The smEmiles as she walked in theB7 room
have aDmll turned into frowns am I tAmoo quick to assume
that the Emlove is no longer in bB7loom
The tanDmtrums and the tears play a vAmery different tunes to what they
Em did before TheirB7 heads red raw
And the eDmnding doesn't sound like the haAmppiest around When you
sEmobbed before it fB7elt much more like the pDmroduct of the squabble
NAmow there's reason for it to be something more
Chorus:
(note: Alex Turner uses bar chords for the chorus)
AnAmd there would be
Oh its uncertain whether the curtain haGs shut for good She
said "see if it's still raining but I'm not dressed foAmr it, and
if you loved me..."
And I interrupt to receive the scowl and B7stare
But still decided to stop her there
Verse 2:

We're either sDmhouting or we're shagging locked in tAmempestuous phase
At lEmeast that's how we felt yesteB7rday
TheDm eyes are getting heavier and whAmether you're sleep or
Chorus:
(note: return to bar chords)
awAmake is a mistery
Would a kiss be too much to Gask
When you fit me as sunday's frozen pitch fits the thermos flAmask
It's a pity
It just hit me we can't go B7back
To the chest touching on the back
