I try to (C major) keep things relative,
(G major) Never give (?) to my (A minor) self if I can,
But I can only think negative,
(C major) Used to tell her shit like I'd (F major) lost my pen,
Now there's (A minor) a chance I'll
never see her face again,
(C major) So I walk a fine line, but it's not the end,
See (A minor) I bought her a voucher for H and (C major) M,
She can get a new skirt
and she'll look the part,
And (A minor) if it don't work
pour out my heart,

(A minor) completely honest with you,
You know I love you, you know I respect you,
At (C major) the end of the day, a birthday card,
(A minor) It's just a piece of paper isn't it?
In an (C major) envelope.

Cant (A minor) sound like a wanker, (a girly (C major) chat),
So I gotta make a dash
for the petrol station,
Cause (A minor) their cards are perfect
for any occa (C major) sion,
I drop my razor and splash my (A minor) (boat),
I grab some tracky- d's and
a random coat,
(C major) Then I'm on it with a wallet,
And I hit the pave (F major) ment,
I'm (A minor) running down the street with my face half shaven,
(C major)

I'm getting (C major) stronger and stronger
my legs are burning,

Verse 8
I get to the garage,
Panic scanning the rack,
(A minor) 99 percent of the range is all (C major) crap,
Happy Birthday Dad, Worlds Best Mother,
I (A minor) Love You Sister,
You're a Special (C major) Brother,
No other bloody card with
a cover for a lover,
Plus (A minor) I'm getting kinda stressed
as I search for (C major) an other,
But this one struck me,
It's pink and funky,
With a (A minor) cartoon print of a drunken
monkey.
(C major)
Verse 9
(A minor)
There's a (C major) chance I'll make
it I'm nearly done,
(F major) I (A minor) hand him the coins and it's time to (F major) run,
(C major) (A minor)
Now (C major) it's 5 minutes too
and I'm nearly home,
I (A minor) feel a vibration and check my phone.
(C major) The
Verse 10
message reads, (G major)
“Honey, I'll (C major) be there (A minor) shortly”,
“I just got off the bus
and I've started walking”,
So (C major) like Kelly Holmes I sprint the home straight,
I (A minor) rip my tracky- d's as I hurdle the gate,
I (C major) crash through the (G major) door,
I fall up the stairs,
(A minor) Looking like I've been in intensive care, (C major)
The Biro's f**ked, the pencil's broken,
I (A minor) grab a Magic Marker
and write a token, (C major)
Of my ap (G major) preciation for her,
And the (A minor) things that make her so (F major) per- (C major) fect,
S**t, there's the bell,
(F major) I (A minor) seal the envelope
it should all be swell,
(F major) Look, (C major) here she (G major) is, my Kiera Knightly,
She (A minor) gives me a kiss and
I hug her tightly, (F major)
(C major) She asks why I've only shaved half my (F major) face,
And sweating like (C major) I've just
come (F major) first in some (C major) race,
Verse 11
I got up extra early,
To (A minor) exercise and stretch my thigh (F major) s,
So (C major) I could see my special girly,
She (A minor) looks in my eyes and sees my lies,
(F major) With (C major) a dubious face she
accepts the card,
(A minor) She reads it,
drops it and slaps me (F major) hard,
(C major) I open it up and prepare for doom,
The (A minor) text in the card reads Get Well Soon. (C major)
Verse 12
I don't believe it I,
For (A minor) got her bloody birthday card,
(C major) She wont be a happy gal,
For (A minor) got her bloody birthday (F major) card,
(C major) She's gonna scream and yell,
For (A minor) got her bloody birthday card,
She'll (C major) leave me man, she might as well,
For (A minor) got her bloody birthday (F major) card.
Verse 13
(C major) Ok, I admit, yeah,
(A minor) I messed up big time,
(C major) But have I got a surprise for you? (A minor)
Yep, nah man, wait for it,
I (C major) booked us a table,
At (A minor) Nandos,
No ser.. where you going?, (C major)
Serious, where you going?, (A minor)
It's only a card!
