Half Man Half Biscuit - It makes the room look bigger

^GI’ve just finished decorating, it was very irritating And I ^Cknow they’re going to come around to^Gnight and I ^Cknow they’re gonna say to me to^Gnight: ^D7“It makes the room look ^Gbigger;^D7 it makes the room look ^Gbigger”.

^GSo let’s forget about the open-top bus ride; standing tall on the town hall balcony ^CIt’s about as likely as ^Ghen’s teeth; ^Cit’s about as likely as ^Ghen’s teeth ^D7And as the light gets ^Gdimmer,^D7 I watch the chance get ^Gslimmer.

But I’m ^Cputting up a hook to hang my ^Ghopes upon There’s a ^Cfella coming round to stick the ^Ggas back on And if ^Ctruth be told now that ^GThelma’s gone D G (instr) G C (x3) D7 G It makes the room look bigger.

^GI’m drawn towards the souvenir stores; I twirl around the key fob rack Well it’s ^Calright for Nicholas and for ^GNeil, yeah well ^Chow do you think that makes me ^Gfeel? ^D7And all the while I can ^Gsee^D7 I’m on the CCT^GV.

I ^Cask her for the ^Gtime And her ^Csense of relief at my ^Gfriendly tone re^Cveals itself in her ^Gkarmic moan: “You can ^Cwait twenty minutes and ^Gnothing comes along And then ^Call of a sudden three ^Ebthugs rob your pension Oh, there’s ^D7generally one a twenty-^Gfive past There’s ^D7generally one at twenty-^Gfive past They come ^D7swinging round that ^Gcorner, They ^Ebthink they’re Benny ^GGoodman”. ^{C G C G}

But I’m ^Cputting up a hook to hang my ^Ghopes upon There’s a ^Cfella coming round to stick the ^Ggas back on And if ^Ctruth be told now that ^GThelma’s gone ^DIt makes the room look ^Gbigger. Oh tiptoe to the ^Dfront row of the ^GKorn show with a ^Csub-machine gun. ^{G G C G}
