Verse 1                               
         C             G 
Well I walked from my house to yours 
       A#               D 
In a warm cold April rain 
    C         G 
We barely went outdoors 
         A#                     D 
And your family took the blame 
     C       G 
Take time to be with you 
 A#               D 
She can only glare 
          C         G 
I’m a bad influence, that’ll do 
        A# 
‘Cos I need to cut my hair 
D 
Wash my mouth, change my clothes 
C                         G 
Just don’t talk to those friends of yours 
                  A# 
Tell them not to come here anymore 
D 
Time to go, don’t be slow 
C 
This’ll only take a mo’ 
G                        A# 
Take yourself right out of my door 
 
Chorus 
     A#                C   D 
It’s just that they don’t care 
     C     G 
Dad said beware, watch your back 
                       A# 
Just don’t reply to that woman there 
     A#           C       D 
And even if she makes a fuss 
          C      G 
Just ignore that trust 
G 
And don’t give in to lust 
     A# 
And leave that one alone

Verse 2 
      C        G 
Time spent in burnt-down shed 
A#                 D 
Add up near two days 
     C       G 
Fall down and cut my head 
      A#               D 
Take time to misbehave 
      C        G 
Spend time and be with you 
 A#               D 
She can only glare

Boy you need to cut my hair

Verse 3 
            D          C 
This is the dancing song 
 
Close your eyes 
      G 
Hypnotise to the beat 
          A#                 D 
And the movement of the week 
                 C 
Do that shuffle of your feet 
     G 
And pound out the fever, either 
A#                              D 
Dance as you’re a true believer 
                            C 
Cleaner lives are what you don’t see 
 G                    A# 
Feel the weight, gravitate 
                  D 
Feel the pace of me 
              C 
This world is 2D 
    G                                 A# 
The only thing that’s free in life is love 
A# 
And that don’t come cheap 
 
Chorus 
      A#                C   D
