Verse 1
Dm
The night's like a whirlwind
Am
Somebody's girlfriend is talking to me
Dm
But it's alright , she's saying that he's not that he's gonna slap me
Am
Or try to attack me, he's not the jealous type
Dm Am
And I only need to get half an excuse and I'm away,
Dm Am
But when there's no excuses that's much easier to say,

Verse 2
(guitar 1 plays only this chord in this part)
Dm
Somebody's partner is talking to me
But I don't that is what she isn't
She murmurs things to confirm the tragedy is true
And I knew how could she not she could have anyone she wants
And I'm struggling to think of an immediate response
(Guitar 2 plays this from the fourth verse)

Last Chorus
Em Bm
And the first time it occurred that there was something to destroy
Am G F#
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
Em Bm
Oh but she carried on suggesting I struggled to refuse
Am
She said it's the red wine this time
G FEm
But that is no excuse
