 I hold you closely  you push me  a-way
 I want for-ever  you just want  to-day
 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
 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 TV learning  to swim
 But I don't blame  you  you're always  right
 I'm like a bad  day on your good  good night
 Inst | Mmmm’s!
 Mmmm mmm  Mmmm mmm  Mmmm mmm  Mmmm mmm
 Mmmm mmm  Mmmm mmm  Mmmm mmm  Mmmm-mmmm
 - but melody is the same as the other verses
  I hold you closely you push me a-way
  I want for-ever you just want to-day
 Give me your fingers  wash out your  mouth
 Bite off my tongue  on this bloody couch
 Chorus 3 | out
 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
 I hope I've done it justice!
