E Bb E Bb E Bb Am
Am E
Oh you shouldn't have kissed me and got me so excited
Am
And when you asked me out I really was delighted
Bb
So we went to a pub in Belsize Park
E* E
And we cheered on England as the sky grew dark
Am Bb
Oh you shouldn't have kissed me cause you started a fire
E* E
But then I found out that you're a serial liar
Am E*
You lied about your status, you lied about your life
G C
You never mentioned your three children and the fact you have a wife
F C
Now it's England 2 Colombia 0
E* E
And I know just how those Colombians feel
Am E
If you hadn't passed out while I was talking to your friend
Am
It could have really ended badly cause you very nearly had me
Bb
If he hadn't taken pity on my heart full of desire
E* E
I might never have found out you're a serial liar
Am E*
You lied about your status you lied about your life
G C
You forgot you have three children you forgot you have a wife
F C
Now it's England 2 Colombia 0
E* E
And I know just how those Colombians feel
G C
It is not in my nature to ever pick the winning team
E Am
Sometimes I think I'm happy then I remember it's a dream
G C
Now it isn't in my nature to ever pick a winner
E
I always pick a bastard who would have me for his dinner
Am E
I can never possess the object of my desire
Am
Cause he's bound to turn out to be a serial liar
Bb
OK I didn't mention my kids, I thought I'd wait a bit
E* E
But I am free and single and he's a lying git
Am E*
Cause he lied about his status. He lied about his life
G C
He forgot he had three children. He forgot he had a wife
F C
And it's England 2 Colombia 0
E* E
I know just how those Colombians feel
(Am) (E)
So I got into a taxi and sobbed all the way home
(Am)
Called my friend up in Sao Paulo and cried down the phone
Bb
I played some tragic music and I lay down to die
E
But later I woke and I hadn't stopped crying
Am Bb
You should never have kissed me, you tasted of deceit
E* Am
Your perfume was Adultery but I'm not a piece of meat
Bb
So I'll be the one that you couldn't acquire
E* E
I found out in time you're a serial liar
Am E*
You lied about your status. You lied about your life
G C
And I pity your three children, and I pity your poor wife
F C
Now you can go to Hell I'm going to Brazil
E Am Bb Am Bb Am Bb A
Still it's England 2 Colombia 0
