Verse 1

G5                            D/F#                               G5
So we’re at this shindig everything’s going on they’re so filthy rich
                              D/F#
Comparing oil rigs, how their girlfriend’s new car is so kitsch
G5                                   D/F#
Hanging off the chandeliers, their daughters are scoring with the auctioneers
G5                                                          D/F#
And the oldies at the back try their best to hack their way out with the gardener’s pruning shears

Verse 2

            Dsus4
And they’re discussing champagne
    Gmaj9                                            Dsus4
The latest and greatest lame campaign, and how their brothers own shares one
Gmaj9                                 Dsus4
Day it’ll make them millionaires, you see this girl, she
Gmaj9
Looks like she crawled out the lost and found
    Dsus4
She pulls right up to my ear and says
Gmaj9
Whatever you do don’t turn

Chorus

G               A11
Roundabouts and washing lines
G                                 A11
We do each other's laundry in our hearts sometimes
C
Come back
C
Come back
C
We don’t have time to fuck around
G          A11
Abouts and washing lines
G                                A11
We do each others laundry in our hearts sometimes

we don’t have time to fuck around

Only one not wearing cufflinks, only one not begging to buy her drinks
Watching the clocks and
       D/F#
Do you think she even knows I bought my shoes from Oxfam
G5
And they’re telling jokes
D/F#                            G5
Got that one about two men in a tent
                               D/F#
Laughs out loud at mine do you like my accent like my accent

Verse 4

Dsus4                       Gmaj9
And I’ll watch her ruin her life and dye her hair bright colours
Dsus4
Become someone’s wife
Gmaj9
Forget the girl that she once was
Dsus4
And I’ll sit by
Gmaj9                                       Dsus4                           Gmaj9
Cocktail gripped in a shaking hand thinking what the hell went wrong cos we had this planned
Had it all planned

Chorus

G               A11
Roundabouts and washing lines
G                                 A11
We do each other's laundry in our hearts sometimes

We don’t have time to fuck around
G          A11
Abouts and washing lines
G                                A11
We do each others laundry in our hearts sometimes

G5
It’s getting late
D/F#
Look a complete and utter state
G5
She pops out the blue and says
D/F#
Doesn’t matter mate
G5
See this girl she’s been around
D/F#
Bet you a pound
G5
She pulls right up to my ear and says
D/F#                         Dsus4
Whatever you do, don’t turn 'round

Verse 6

          Gmaj9                      Dsus4
My entire life it’s running away too fast
                       Gmaj9           Dsus4
Watching everyone I’ve ever loved walk past
                   Gmaj9
Never really quite getting the knack of
Dsus4
Knowing no one will not
Gmaj9
Ever come back for you
