NOTES 
For the verses I have only indicated the chords, but Malcolm ocassionally strums the C and D
chords of the verse - the rest is all bass...The chords (D/Bb/C) of the second part of the 
outro should be strummed fast with a lot of distortion on a second guitar.

Verse 1
D5                Bb5           C5               D5
  I was trying to sleep, but my heartache wasn't fooled
                              Bb5       
  It was at least the back of four when you phoned
C5                      D5  
  To tell me that you'd pulled
                   Bb5                 
  You met him in a club and he's nice
C5                                 D5
  You hope he doesn't think you're slack
                          Bb5
  But he's waiting in the next room
C5                               D5
  And you think you'd better get back

Verse 2
D5              Bb5            C5              D5  
  I'm trying to sleep, but I'm staring and I'm thinking
D5                     Bb5   C5                  D5
  And my bed's fucking huge.   And you and him are drinking
D5                  Bb5    C5                D5
  I'm glad that I'm going.   That I'll soon be away
D5                  Bb5      C5                             D5
  I wish you'd just ask her,   cause it's not something I can say
