Sometimes when we're as close as this   It’s like we’re in a dream 
C                            Am7				   D 
How can you lie there and think of England   When you don't even know 
who's in the team

I'm celebrating my love for you     With a pint of beer and a new tattoo 
C                            Am7                   D 
And if you haven't noticed yet     I'm more impressionable when my cement 
is wet

Politics and pregnancy

G   D    Em          D               C       D        Em      Bm7 
Shirley, could we get through the night without mentioning family

The people from your church agree    It's not much of a career    
C                            Am7                   D 
Trying the handles of parked cars      Whoops,there goes another year 
 
Whoops,there goes another pint of beer

Here we are in our summer years

Living on ice-cream and chocolate kisses 
C                       Am 
Would the leaves fall from the trees 
          D 
If I was your old man and you were my missus 
G    D    C         D             G       D

Fun song to play, and by the way, sounds great played on a 12 string.
