Thursday  night and everything's  fine
Except  you've got that look  in your eye
 When you're telling  a story and you  find it boring
 You're thinking  of something to say
 You'll go along with it then drop it
 And humiliate me, in front of our friends
 Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying
 And say something like,
 "Yes intelligent input darling. Why don't you have another glass of wine?"
 Then you'll call me a --
 And everyone we're with will be embarrassed
 And I won't give a sh...
 My fingertips  are holding onto
 The cracks  in our foundation
 And I know  that I should let  go, but I can't
 And every  time we fight  I know it's not right
 Every time you get upset  and I smile
 I know I should forget,  but I can't
 Oh you said I must eat so many lemons
 'Cause I am so bitter
 I said, "I'd rather be with your friends mate
 'Cause they all much fitter"
 Yes it was childish and you got aggressive
 And I must admit, I was a bit scared
 It gives me thrills to wind you up
 Oh my fingertips are holding onto
 The cracks in our foundation
 And I know that I should let go, but I can't
 And every time we fight I know it's not right
 Every time I get upset and I smile
 I know I should forget, but I can't
 Your face is pasty 'cause you've gone and got so wasted
 What a surprise, I can't look at your face
 'cause it's makin' me sick
 You've gone and got sick on my trainers
 I only got these yesterday
 Oh my gosh, I can't be bothered with this
 My fingertips are holding onto
 The cracks in our foundation
 And I know that I should let go, but I can't
 And every time we fight I know it's not right
 Every time I get upset and I smile
 I know I should forget, but I can't
 Oh my fingertips are moulding into the shape of a crustacean
 And I try to play with Lego, but I can't
 And every time we fight I know it's not right
 Every time you get upset and I smile
 I know I should forget, but I can't

[Ab]Thursday night and [C#]everything's fine

[Ab]Except you've got that [C#]look in your eye

When you're [Ab]telling a story and [C#]you find it boring

You're [Eb]thinking of something to [C#]say

You'll go along with it then drop it
And humiliate me, in front of our friends

Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying
And say something like,
"Yes intelligent input darling. Why don't you have another glass of wine?"

Then you'll call me a --
And everyone we're with will be embarrassed
And I won't give a sh...

My [Fm]fingertips are holding onto

The [Eb]cracks in our foundation

And I [Fm]know that I should [Eb]let go, but I [C#]can't

And [Fm]every time we [Eb]fight I know it's not [C#]right

Every time you get [Eb]upset and I [Fm]smile

I know I should [Eb]forget, but I [C#]can't

Oh you said I must eat so many lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said, "I'd rather be with your friends mate
'Cause they all much fitter"
Yes it was childish and you got aggressive
And I must admit, I was a bit scared
It gives me thrills to wind you up

Oh my fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time I get upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't

Your face is pasty 'cause you've gone and got so wasted
What a surprise, I can't look at your face
'cause it's makin' me sick

You've gone and got sick on my trainers
I only got these yesterday
Oh my gosh, I can't be bothered with this

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time I get upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't

Oh my fingertips are moulding into the shape of a crustacean
And I try to play with Lego, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time you get upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
