Verse 1
Em                                                     
  The bed's a mess when we're finished and at rest 
B7
  And I can just see the post-fuck flush across your chest
Em
  The telly's silent, the room's lit only by the screen
B7
  And now we're perfect moulds with just our pulses in between


Verse 2
Em
  Well I'm not listening to what my mother said 
B7
  What we're doing inside my bed
Em
  And I'm not pretending this time you're someone else
B7
  But I'm cleaning these sheets all by myself

  I think your pants are by the door  I think tomorrow we might be sore 


Verse 3:
Em
  Even in this light, your tits look white against the tanning
B7
  And I know we're a couple 'cause we went down the Family Planning
Em
  It hit me in the waiting room when you were getting what you need
B7
  But I can't help be a bit disappointed when you start to bleed
