E|-----------|
B
Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
B
Or knackered Converse
B
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
E
But all of that's what the point is not
E
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
B
And there's the truth that they can't see
B
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
B E
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
E
Agree that there ain't no romance around there

Verse 2:
The same as Verse 1
B
And over there there's broken bones
B
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
E
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
E
To see it's a little different around here
B
Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
B
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
E
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
E
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead
Chorus:
The same as the previous one but played twice.
