Bad Cover Version

D                          Em                    A
The word's on the street: you've found someone new.
D                          Em                 A
If he looks nothing like me I'm so happy for you.
C                A                D        F#
I heard an old girlfriend has turned to the church -
C                A                           D
she's trying to replace me, but it'll never work.
                          Bm
'Cos every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
Em                              G
And every time he kisses you it leaves behind the
                              D
bitter taste of saccharine.

D                           Em                   A
A bad cover version of love is not the real thing.
D                           Em                 A
Bikini-clad girl on the front who invited you in.
C                    A                        D            F#
Such great disappointment when you got him home -
                    C          A                 D
the original was so good; the one you no longer own.
                        Bm
And every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
Em                              G
And every time he kisses you, you get the taste of saccharine.
         D                          Bm
It's not easy to forget me, it's so hard to disconnect
               Em                       G           D
When it's electronically reprocessed to give a more life-like effect.

(Not really sure of the chord here probably G)
Aah, sing your song about all the sad imitations that
              D
got it so wrong
D                                         Em
It's like a later "Tom & Jerry" when the two of them
could talk
         A                G
Like the Stones since the Eighties, like the last days
           D
of Southfork.
D                                     Em
Like "Planet of the Apes" on TV, the second side of "'Til the Band Comes in"
          A
Like an own-brand box of cornflakes: he's going to let
                D
you down my friend.
