Fair

C
It’s what my heart just yearns to say
In ways that can’t be said
It’s what my rotting bones will sing
                      F
When the rest of me is dead
It’s what’s engraved upon my heart
In letters deeply worn
Today I somehow understand the reason I was born
           C
Cos outwardly he says I try so hard to make you laugh at me
And she, she does, she laughs as though she´s not
                                     F
heard the joke ten thousand times before
And he adores her, he watches her get dressed as though
she’s hurtling through time
Oh, darling please be mine
           C
She promises to fight them all when it all becomes too much
And he, he curses at the world for leaving him behind
                         F
and he’s falling out of touch
And she is stronger than he’s ever been, he knows
And she brushes her hand through his hair,
he’s got so much fucking hair
                 Am                                  F
And he holds her close just to keep the world at bay
                 Am
And when they’re sure no-one can hear them
F
She’ll turn to him to say, she’ll turn to him and say

C                                        F
  It’s not fair, it’s not fair how much I love you
         Am
It’s not fair, cos you make me laugh when I’m actually
              F
really fucking cross at you for something
               C
And he’ll say
                        F
Oh how oh how unreasonable
                     Am
How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do
                                F
I’ll spend my days so close to you cos if I’m standing
                                   C
here maybe everyone will think I’m   alright

I’ve seen enough he says I know exactly what I want
And it’s this life that we’ve created,
                                     F
inundated with the fated thought of you
And if you asked me to,
if you asked me I would lose it all
Like petals in a storm, cos darling I was born
             C
To press my head between your shoulder blades
at night when light is fading
Just to let you know I’m old, waylaid
and feels like I am wading into
F
Carpet burns and carousels
oh Christ you’ll be the death of me
And calm throughout his melodrama she will
                            Am
turn and say ‘dear heart It’s me, its me
                                               F
You don’t need to pretend to be someone you’re not
Cos it’s not like
I’ve never heard you fart and snore
            Am
And for some god forsaken reason I’m still here
                                F
love like I’ve always been before
And he’ll say

C                                       F
It’s not fair, It's not fair how much I love you
          Am
It’s not fair cos you make me weep when I’m just
                          F
trying to watch The Office with my yoghurt
               C
And she’ll say
                         F
Oh how, oh how unreasonable
                    Am
How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do
                              F
I’ll spend my days so close to you cos if I’m standing
                                  C
here maybe everyone will think I’m cool
F  Am  F

C
  How unfair, how unfair they’ll sing as they
dance across the darling rooftop wreck
      F
He’ll trip and she’ll pretend not to have seen
Burying her head into his chest and clinging
                             Am
to the moment, ‘where have you been?’
                                                 F
She’ll whisper ‘I’ve waited oh so long for you to come’
          Am                                  F
And as the stars above them hum and hear them
he’ll turn to her and say ‘that’s what she said’

C                                          F
  It’s not fair, it's not fair how much I love you
        Am                                     F
It’s not fair cos you make me ache you bastard
                C
And he’ll say
                         F
Oh how, oh how unreasonable
                      Am
How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do
                               F
I’ll spend my days so close to you cos
if I’m stood here
Then I’m stood here
And I’ll stand here
                          C
I’ll stand here with you
