The Wedding Present



All changes are covered. Just not repeated.



146 degrees

Dm........................G.....................A#
You've just walked in this room but things have changed forever now
Dm..........................G..............A#
Because you're the only thing in view

And when my girlfriend asks you: "Please could you tell me how

You get them all to stare at you?"
Am........C........A#...................F
You smile and say it's not your fault
Am.......C.............A#................F
Meanwhile the world's come to a halt

And once you've caught our gaze you'll never let it go again

But, oh, we'd never want you to

Because we're your puppets, yeah, women just as much as men

No one can take their eyes off you

You smile and say it's not your fault

Meanwhile the world's come to a halt

Quiet bit, Dm......Noisy bit same as chorus: Am,C,A#,F

Lollobrigida

........Bm.........G..........A...........F#m
You shake, I sweat, it stings
.......Bm...........G........A...........F#m
I ache, you're wet, I cling

Your thighs, your breasts, my cheek

Your eyes, undress, don't speak

Since when, on time, you smiled

Since then, oh I'm, beguiled

So pure, your skin, tiptoe

I'm sure, you win, don't go
..........D.................G.....Em.........A
Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"

Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"

I stare, for too long, and you woke

Your hair, a song, I stroke

I'm glad, this breeze, so still

You're sad, but please, I will

Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"

Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"

Your Charms

A.............................Bm
You always seem to laugh
..........................A
For every photograph
..............................G
If I didn't know you better

I'd say you were flirting with the males

Because, oh, it never fails

To make them stare, etc.

MIDDLE EIGHTH: Bm..(and mix with Bm7(x24232).........G

But the ploys of womankind could not be

Further from your mind

That's never your intention

So I'm always amused

Whenever you are left confused

At being centre of attention

MIDDLE EIGHTH
................D
And darling, I just can't think clearly
Bm.....................................F#m
It happens when I'm in your arms

And my heart is pounding
G
How pathetic is this sounding?
D
I'm unquestionably
Bm...........................F#m
Captivated by your charms

And the way you thrill me
G
I think I always will be

Now you're tossing back your hair

And you're completely unaware

Of how they're drooling over you

And it is no coincidence

Yes, it's your very innocence

That makes them act the way they do

And darling, I just can't think clearly

It happens when I'm in your arms

And my heart is pounding

How pathetic is this sounding?

I'm unquestionably

Captivated by your charms

And the way you thrill me

I think I always will be

I just can't think clearly

It happens when I'm in your arms

And my heart is pounding

How pathetic is this sounding?

I'm unquestionably

Captivated by your charms

And the way you thrill me

I think I always will be

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heels

F.....................A#
Oh I wish you wouldn't let
C..........................Dm
Me read the letters that you get
F.......................A#
Well, yeah, he's just a fool
...............C.....................A
But that doesn't make it any less cruel

But I can't look away

Especially when you say

You haven't read them yet

Cos there's someone else that you've already met

He says he misses you

But thinks you've been untrue

But he won't intervene

With your master plan whatever that might mean

But he can't understand

Why you got so offhand

You crushed him with your heels

And I know exactly how he feels
.......A#........C
And I don't really care
...................F...............Dm
That you've found another lover
A#....................C
Because I know he'll be gone
.........Dm
The moment that you get bored

And I know I shouldn't stare

When you kiss him like you kissed the others

He's just another one

Who thinks you should be adored

You need a paramour

Someone to pluck your eyebrows for

And if no-one wants to play

Well, you'll probably stay in bed all day

But have you ever paused

To calculate the pain you've caused?

You say you want to live

But one day, something's got to give

I don't really care

That you've found another lover

Because I know he'll be gone

The moment that you get bored

And I know I shouldn't stare

When you kiss him like you kissed the others

He's just another one

Who thinks you should be adored


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unzip

..................................C
And you know this is just like a children's fantasy
...................A..................................................E
It's like a scene from "The Singing Ringing Tree"

But I can tell by your face that you're plagued with doubt

We can hold hands because nobody's about
...........................C#m..A.........................................E
Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes

It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?
..........C
You don't have to whisper every time you speak
................A..............................................E............C
And you don't have to jump at every single creak

So you changed your mind, you think it isn't right

At what point did you think of him last night?

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes

It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

MIDDLE EIGHTH: E C E C C#m A E C#m A E

You say you've got to telephone him once at least

Well how come your feelings for him just increased?

Look he's never ever going to find out where you've been

So wait until tomorrow before you start feeling mean

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes

It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

Apres Ski

Intro: Am C G E

.......Am......F................G........F...E
The radio's on, it's some jazzy 60s song

She makes him laugh out loud by trying to sing along

But how many years has it been since she was seventeen?

Still, she is flattered that someone so young's so keen
.................Am.......................................C
And so she won't refuse, well, what's she got to
........................G...............................E
lose, when she sees him glancing?
Am...............F......................G................E
This kind of evening could be life enhancing

And so they talk all night until it's almost light

and then it's back to his place

Then she sees the uneasy look on his face

A gentle breeze shakes the petals from the trees

She says "Do what you like" because boys aren't hard to please

It's over fast, although he tries to make it last

And then they lie and watch the sky turn overcast

It didn't mean a thing, it's not embarrassing, it was just disappointing

She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing

And in a sixties song she'd go and prove them wrong

but this is too confusing

She gets what she wants but still ends up losing
F..........................................C
She thought she'd turn a boy into a man
F..............................................C.....E
But in real life some things don't go to plan

And so she won't refuse, well, what's she got to

lose, when she sees him glancing?

This kind of evening could be life enhancing

And so they talk all night until it's almost light

and then it's back to his place

Then she sees the uneasy look on his face

It didn't mean a thing, it's not embarrassing, it was just disappointing

She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing

And in a sixties song she'd go and prove them wrong but this is too confusing

She gets what she wants but still ends up losing

Superman

Intro: Dm E Am A#

F............................A#
I think I'm going to just tear you apart
F.........................................................A#
Because this time you've been playing havoc with my heart
F..............................A#.........................Gm..............C
But it's already over, even if I'm the last to know

At least there's something on which we're both agreed

Oh yeah, we both know exactly what you need

Someone to satisfy you, someone who'll follow where you go
...............................F.................Dm
And that sounds just like a job for Superman
..............F......................Dm
Not the lazy slob that you think I am
Gm..............................Am
Because nothing I could do
.......................A#................................C
Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

It's not as if you can say I haven't tried

But you want something that I just can't provide

I'm not a super hero; I just can't find a cloak and change

That sounds more like a job for Superman

Not the lazy slob that you think I am

Because nothing I could do

Is ever going to be quite good enough for you
..Dm..........................E
Oh I know what this is all about
.........Am.......................A#
The wine goes in and the truth comes out

Don't give me that "unsuited" stuff

You just don't think I'm good enough

Because that's a job for Superman

Not the lazy slob that you think I am

Nothing I could do

Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

I don't see how you can carry on

I don't mean just now, I mean with anyone

I just wanted a romance

But little did I know I never stood a chance

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because I'm Beautiful

..................F............................Am
And with so many people in the room above
.....................Dm...........................A#
That was the weirdest place that I've ever made love

I was so sure you were trying to impress

That my heart stopped dead when you slipped out
......................................Gm
Slipped right out of your dress
C................A#................F
I knew that you would say yes

Yeah, what if we'd been caught?
Gm....C..........A#..........F
I......... never gave it a thought!

Everybody wants to know

How every party seems to become my show

They ask me why my life is never dull

I just say: "Because"

"Because I'm beautiful"

Oh I'm sure there's no man you can't pull

But that was just a joke!

I saw his face when you spoke
Dm...................................A#
And when the conversation turns to sex
Dm........................................A#..............C
You always say something no one expects
F....................C...........Am........A#
And that's exactly why I love you

That's why I can't get enough of you

You're unconventional but it's not intentional and

that's the greatest thing about you

You're a premium bohemian and I couldn't live one day without you

So beautiful!

I'm sure there's no girl you can't pull

But that was just a joke!

Well I saw her face when you spoke

And when the conversation turns to sex

You always say something no one expects

And that's exactly why I love you

That's why I can't get enough of you

You're unconventional but it's not intentional and

that's the greatest thing about you

You're a premium bohemian and I couldn't live one day without you

And that's exactly why I love you

That's why I can't get enough of you

You're unconventional but it's not intentional and that's the greatest thing about you

You're a premium bohemian and I couldn't live one day without you

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's Pretend

The four chord progression is repeated through the entire song. Genius!

....................Am
And it might seem unorthodox
D.......................................G................................Em
But I am trying to remove all traces of your personality

So I'm sending you a box

Full of stuff you left when you decided that you'd had enough of me

So here are your things starting with a pair of earrings

And I just bet this is your Corrs cassette

It might sound a little lame

But we had something so good that I don't want to remember any more

Because whatever it became

It started out as something that I've never quite experienced before

I put this in because it looked feminine

I'm not quite sure if it was mine or yours

Can we pretend we never met?

Pretend there's nothing to forget

Can we pretend we weren't in love?

Let's pretend we've no-body to be reminded of

And now that I've begun I'm finding things everywhere

When I think that I am done, I'll find some underwear

Can we pretend we never met?

Pretend there's nothing to forget

Can we pretend we weren't in love?

Let's pretend we've no-body to be reminded of

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow

Em...................................................C
You've avoided questions that could've easily spoilt the mood
B..................................................C...................................D
Like where does my girlfriend work, what's her favourite food?

I think I know someone who could give me an alibi

So, yes, I think I've just proved that I'm prepared to lie

But there is nothing quite like a secret rendezvous

I think I know already what I'm going to do

Outside the air is cold and your arm slips into mine

When you invite me in, you know I won't decline
G
But I don't want to stay forever
C.....................................................Em
I don't want to leave my girlfriend but, wow!
....................................D
This isn't happening the way I'd planned

I'm not going to say never

But I don't want to fall in love right now

Well, just as long as we both understand

As you lead me up the stairs, I'm leering at your thighs

You're revealing parts of me I just don't recognise

You leave behind a scent that lingers in the air

It draws me up the steps, but I should not be there

But I don't want to stay forever

I don't want to leave my girlfriend but, wow!

This isn't happening the way I'd planned

I'm not going to say never

But I don't want to fall in love right now

Well, just as long as we both understand
C.............................................................G
You're telling me, almost compelling me to stay
C
But don't close the door, because I'm still not sure
G............D
OK

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above is the intro (if stuck read the tab section) It plays throughout the verses. Or you can cheat using the following chords as shown below.

E...G#m...A.....................................E....G#m..A
I've given everything I have to give but... it's not enough

And this might sound a little negative but I'm not that tough

And well, yeah, that's the difference there between us, you're so naive

When they promise you the world, oh they don't

really mean it, it's just make believe
B...............A..............E................A
Yeah, I've heard it all before
B.....A
No, I don't care any...

More things to do but no time left to do them, so why persevere?

More goals but no opportunity to pursue them, so why am I here?
B..............A............E.............A
Yeah, I've heard it all before
.................................(Middle eighth)
B........A....................E...A...F#m...B
No, I don't care any more
.............C#m....G#m....A
Maybe I need to try again

But I don't know how

You say you've got the answer

Well your time starts now

I need to try again

I don't know how

You say you've got the answer

Your time starts now

Yeah, I've heard it all before

No, I don't care any more

Outro same as middle eighth: E..A..F#m..B
