Treasure

Intro 
C  Am  F  G 


[Verso 1]
 
   C 
I started when I was young with the old two shillings 
        Am 
I had collected enough, it felt really fulfilling 
       F 
They replaced them with the shiny new ten-pence pieces 
     G 
I collected the limited editions of these (Ive still got them) 
        C 
Theyre somewhere in the house, buried under stuff 
   Am 
I stopped collecting them as they didnt print enough (they might be worth something) 
    F 
The new two-pound coins made a nice new collection 
   G                                         G7 
I bet Ive got rare ones, or is that self-deception 
 


[Refrão]
 
C 
Some say Im a hoarder 
   Am 
A fact I will deny 
G 
I just like to collect things 
    F 
 Or top up my supplies 
C 
I dont have a problem 
   Am 
It gives me great pleasure 
G 
You might think its trash 
       F 
But to me, this is treasure 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C 
Next, it was shoes once my feet stopped growing 
  Am 
I had every colour and every style going 
  F 
I hid them in cupboards, shelves and under the bed 
        G 
I could wear a new pair every day until I was dead 
C 
Obviously, I had to have bags to match all the shoes 
     Am 
They spilled out of all the cupboards into the rooms 
   F 
I couldnt part with any as they matched my clothes 
     G                                     G7 
With nowhere for them, I hid them under throws

[Verso 3]
 
   C 
My shopping was so compulsive, Id have to sneak it home 
Am 
Leaving it in the car until I was in the house all alone 
    F 
My family all left me when there wasnt room to live 
     G 
They said I was a level five hoarder, and something had to give 
   C 
No one saw the value of what I'd saved for future projects 
    Am 
To everyone else, it was all just useless objects 
          F 
But I had ten of everything, from food to toilet paper 
    G                                           G7 
So, I'll be ok when the apocalypse comes on later

[Verso 4]
 
     C 
Its now got so bad that I dont live there anymore 
    Am 
Im staying with my sister because I cant get in my door 
F 
Living in her cupboard, I've got no room to spare 
      G 
Its just a mattress and a lamp, hidden under the stair 
         C 
Theres only room for me and possibly the cat 
         Am 
Somehow, the mattress is getting higher, though Ill deny that 
    F 
I swore I wouldnt do it anymore with complete sincerity 
      G                                                       G7 
But I wont be allowed back home until Ive completed my therapy
