Instant Coffee Baby

         C
Well the words that we spoke in the bar, in the car
      F
And at Goose Fair on the waltzers
           G                                F
And the big wheel in her kitchen in the greenhouse in my garden
Em                         Dm
Dozing in the giant pillow of a bouncy castle
     C                           F
With Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel

Halfway down to Blackpool Tower
      G                    F
These words have filled my finest hours
Em               Dm
Like a bottle of milk they soured


        C
And I'm wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
F
Wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
        G             F
If your skin is still as thin
      Em        Dm
As it was those mornings


        C
We were sieved together and fried in pans
            F                                  G
And on your make-up stand it said my number in red
                   F
But you had filled your net
        Em                 Dm
Sending off your kids like crows
          C
Still, in Wymeswold at the end of the summer
        F
I could smoke one off the end of another
            G                            F
And I could say the right thing and piss off your mother
        Em                     Dm
Who you never really cared for


            C
But now I'm wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
F
Wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
        G             F
If your skin is still as thin
      Em        Dm          C
As it was those mornings anyway...

   F
Anyway!
   C
Anyway!
   F
Anyway!

     C                                          F
Well there is light in any one of these tunnels

Spurting up the stained funnel
        G                      F
Of your Italian ex-boyfriend's coffee machine
        Em                        Dm
Which I stole when he left for Bologna
    C
And when I burnt my finger on it
 F
It's like he came back and bit me for it
     G
And you got cystitis didn't you
           Dm
Didn't you then


        C
With no purpose but to work

And feel physical in nylon
F
With the chocolate we survived on

(The chocolate we dined on!)
G                              F
Melting in its plastic wrapper packet (in your pocket!)
    Em                            Dm
You crawled eight-legged down the drive


        C
And I'm wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
F
Wondering tonight
(wondering tonight)
        G             F
If your skin is still as thin
      Em        Dm          C
As it was those mornings anyway...

   F
Anyway!
   C
Anyway!
   F
Anyway!
       C          F
Anyway?  Anyway...
