Tabbed by: Freddie Macauley

Tuning: Standard
The majority of this is just the original song an octave lower, this is so it can be
played easily acoustically, without the high notes.
Intro:
Play this twice

Verse 1:
Played and quickly muted, listen to the song you'll get it, there's also the occasional
up,down,up, normally before movement between chords

D|-4----2---|
A|-2--------|
E|----------|
BWell oh they might wear classic Reeboks
BOr knackered Converse
BOr tracky bottoms tucked in socks
EBut all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no Eromance around there
BAnd there's the truth that they can't see
BThey'd probably like to throw a punch at me
BAnd if Eyou could only see them, then you would agree
EAgree that there ain't no romance around there

Verse 2:
The same as Verse 1
BAnd over there there's broken bones
BThere's only music, so that there's new ringtones
E And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little Edifferent around here
BDon't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
BAnd kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
EAnd just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to Eact like a dickhead
Chorus:
The same as before, but played twice:

Entirely preference which ending is used, or if you're feeling imaginative could
try playing both at the same time.
