       C             D      Em Bm C D (QUICKLY)  G

     Em Bm C D (quickly)
Come round ...


[Chorus]
         Am             Bm         
'Cause I want the one I can't have 
C                      D
   And it's driving me mad 
         Am                  Bm      C    D
It's all over, all over, all over my face

On the day that your mentality 
C                    D    Em Bm C D
Catches up with your biology 


[Chorus 2]
  Am             Bm 
I want the one I can't have

It's all over, all over, all over my face 


[Verse 3]
G        C
A double bed
      D                  Bm 
And a stalwart lover for sure 
C             D             Em  Bm C D
These are the riches of the poor 

Same as above excpet Em Bm C D progression played twice

A double bed 
And a stalwart lover for sure 
These are the riches of the poor 


[Chorus 3]
      Am             Bm
And I want the one I can't have 
C                    D
  And it's driving me mad 
Am                           Bm      C   D 
It's all over, all over, all over my face 

Em until:

  C            Bm                 Em Bm  C D
A tough kid who sometimes swallows nails 
Am        Bm             Em Bm C D
Raised on Prisoner's Aid
            Am                    Bm
He killed a policeman when he was thirteen
    C                     D 
And somehow that really impressed me
         Am          Bm     C   D  
And it's written all over my face 

Then the intro: G C D Bm

    C             D             Em Bm C D
Oh, these are the riches of the poor 

Then G C D Bm intro chords again

These are the riches of the poor 


[Chorus]
  Am             Bm
I want the one I can't have
C                     D   
  And it's driving me mad
     Am          Bm   C   D
It's written all over my face  

Em until:

Last Verse
       C             D      Em Bm C D
On the day that your mentality 
C                    D    Em Bm C D
Catches up with your biology 

           Am                 Bm 
And if you ever need self-validation
     C                           D
Just meet me in the alley by the railway station 
Am       Bm      C   D
It's all over my face 


Outro is Em continuously
