Verse:
E
You used to get it in your fishnets
C#m
Now you only get it in your night dress
F#m
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
B
Landed in a very common crisis
E
Everything’s in order in a black hole
C#m
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
F#m
The Bloody Mary’s lacking her Tabasco
B
Remember when you used to be a rascal?
Chorus:
F#m
Oh the boy’s a slag
B
The best you ever had
F#m
The best you ever had
B F#m
Is just a memory and those dreams
B
But as daft as they seem
F#m
As daft as they seem
A
My love when you dream them up…
Verse:
E
Flicking through a little book of sex tips
C#m
Remember when the boys were all electric?
F#m
Now when she’s told she’s gonna get it
B
I’m guessing that she’d rather just forget it
E
Clinging to not getting sentimental
C#m
Said she wasn’t going but she went still
F#m
Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle
B
Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?
Chorus:
F#m
Oh the boy’s a slag
B
The best you ever had
F#m
The best you ever had
B F#m
Is just a memory and those dreams
B
But as daft as they seem
F#m
As daft as they seem
A
My love when you dream them up

Oh, where did you go?

Where did you go?
G#m F#m
Where did you go? Woah.
