verse 1 

           Bb                 F 
You said, "Send me stationary to make me horny" 
Dm                            C 
So I always write you letters in multicolours 
Bb                  F 
Decorating envelopes for foreplay 
Dm                      C 
Damn extended metaphors, I get carried away 
Bb               F 
On the back of a natural disaster 
       Dm                       C 
Fixed with parcel tape and with kids sticking plasters 
Bb               C 
Nothing says, "I miss you" quite like 
    F 
War poetry you carved in your door with a Stanley knife

Bb C             F 
      My year in lists 
Bb                                 C                  F 
Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss 
          Bb                            C 
So put on every winter coat that you've owned since '98 
          F                               C 
And every midnight sees the countdown to another awful day 
  Bb 
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you 
  F 
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you 
  Bb                                                G 
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you 


verse 2 
Bb            F 
On your request, I compile a list 
Dm             C 
Of my top five resolutions for this year (One!) 
Bb          F 
I declined 'cause I decided that I (Two!) 
Dm                    C   
Do not believe in the New Year anymore (Three!) 
Bb                   F 
And you must confess that at times like these 
Dm                  C 
Hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness (Four!) 
Bb                F 
And I accept that it's time for a change 
           Dm                    C 
But not in places like this with people like these (Five! Five! Five! Five! Five!)
