The [Dm]phone rings, it's early, it's [G]seven o'clock,
He says, [F]"Sorry I woke you, but I [C]just had to talk.
You know [Dm]last night, remember, when [G]I tried to choke you?
I didn't [F]mean it, I was drunk, it was [C]only a joke."
Prechorus:
You should [Dm]know [Dm/C]that by [G]now,
When the [F]chequered [C]flag comes [Dm]down,
[A#]No one, no one, [A]no one has won the race.
Intro
Verse:
The [Dm]next night he's over and [G]over and under
And [F]after he's finished she [C]lies there and wonders
Just [Dm]why does she need him, and [G]why does she stay here,
And [F]then in the darkness, she'll [C]quietly say, "Dear,
Prechorus:
You've [Dm]never [Dm/C]really [G]known.
That [F]when the wh[C]ite flag is f[Dm]lown,
[A#]No one, no one, [A]no one has won the wa[Dm]r."
Verse:
They're [Dm]complicated people leading [G]complicated lives,
And he [F]complicates their problems by telling [C]complicated lies.
He [Dm]tells her he's sorry. She [G]tells him, "It's over."
He [F]tells her he's sorry. She [C]says, over and over,
Prechorus:
"You've [Dm]never [Dm/C]really [G]known,
That [F]when the wh[C]ite flag is f[Dm]lown,
[A#]No one, no one, [A]no one has won the w[Dm]ar."
Outro:
[Emaj7]There goes a forest and th[Aadd9]ere goes a bluebird
[Emaj7]There goes a partridge and th[Aadd9]ere goes a Go Train
[Emaj7]There goes an angel and th[Aadd9]ere goes a steeple
[Emaj7]There goes a cop car and th[Aadd9]ere goes an eagle
[Emaj7]There goes a raven and th[Aadd9]ere go the ribbons
[Emaj7]There goes a raven and th[Aadd9]ere go the ribbons
[Emaj7]There goes a raven and th[Aadd9]ere go
[Amaj7/C#]The ribbons, the ribbons, the ribbons, the ribbons
of the fl[Emaj7]ag. [Aadd9]
