For your morning bath        but I'd not thought, I

Hate to hear you talk that way

But I can't bring   myself to say I'm sorry

And I won't be the first to shout it's over

I used to wanna plant bombs at the last night of the proms
    Am          C                Am          C
But now you'll find me with the baby in the bathroom
          Am                          C           D
With that big shell listening to the sound of the sea


**Instrumental:  G  G G G G D        C

I steal a kiss from you         in the supermarket

I walk you down the aisle,     you fill my basket
       C                 Am
And through it all the stick I take
    C                Am
Is worth it for the love we make

Then I met you,        you pulled the curtain
    C                 Am
The sun came up, the trees began to sing and
 C                Am             G       D  Em    D
Light shone in on everything, I love you
    C                 Am
