D-DU-UDU
 I hold you  closely,
 You push me away.
 I want forever,
  You just want  today.
 Give me your fingers,
 Wash out your  mouth.
 Bite off my tongue
  On this bloody  couch.
 But I don't blame  you.
 You're always right.
 I'm like a bad  day
  On your good,  good night.
 (Here's the instrumental. If acoustic-ing it up on guitar, it's pretty much the same as
 it's always been. I suggest singing the last four lines again in your head whilst
 playing the G C D C G C D C )
 I hear the tick of a bomb-ah,
 All you hair in a fuse.
 You asked me for  a light
  To blow  away these blues.
 Run me a bath,
 Then plug me in.
 I'm like a T.V.
 Learning to swim.
 But I don't blame  you.
 You're always right.
 I'm like a bad  day
  On your good,  good night.
 (Another instrumental, with a few 'Mm-mh's over the top. This one goes G C G C G C G C D
 C )
 (This bit is spoken)
  I hold you closely.
  You push me away.
  I want forever,
  You just want today.
 Give me your fingers,
 Wash out your  mouth.
 Bite off my tongue
  On this bloody  couch.
 But I don't blame  you.
 You're always right.
 I'm like a bad  day
  On your good,  good night.
 But I don't blame  you.
 You're always right.
 I'm like a bad  day
  On your good,  good, good,  good night.
