Verse 1
Am 
"One day I'm gonna be a freeway
truck driver
A 
Am 
Picking up guys along the way" you said
Dm 
Well I think all these thoughts
G 
of American movies
Have gone right to our heads
A 
And all this talk about our glamorous
dreams seems so funny
Am 
As our bus turns a corner onto the estate
Dm 
All the houses here are
lonely (lonely)
G 
Yet all the Christmas
C 
decorations are the same

Verse 2
C 
Oh would I be sitting here with you
F 
If there was something else
to do in Nottingham?
C 
G 
Your eyes  say "I don't think so"
F 
C 
I don't think so
Both your parents think I'm too polite and
G 
My mother thinks you're
F 
'simply delightful'
C 
Is this ever going anywhere?
G 
I don't think so
F 
I don't think so

Verse 3
A 
So we pretend this town's the
coolest place we've ever been
Dm 
Yet I feel I can hardly breath here
All the walls are closing in
G 
Brief encounters can't buy
A 
you love... and so on
"Thirty minutes 'til someone
comes home" you said
As you lay me down on your
Dm 
cousin's bed
And I close my eyes as I try to
G 
Forget about the pain that
C 
we're both going through

Verse 4
C 
Are we ever gonna get somewhere
F 
if all we know is Nottingham?
C 
For Christ's sake
G 
I don't think so
F 
I don't think so

Interlude 1

Verse 5

(How we ever gonna go far

Nottingham?)

Verse 6
A 
Am 
I almost didn't recognize you today
A 
You've gone and bleached your hair
again and got another piercing
Dm 
So when your call came out of the blue
G 
Well I've got to admit,
I was thinking about you
A 
You look up at me from
the foot of the bed
With that lie in your eyes telling
me that you want me
Dm 
I think you even screamed
"I love you" today
G 
(Liar!)
I just smile and let the
C 
moment take me away

Verse 7
C 
'Coz deep down I know that
you don't want
F 
The high school boy from Nottingham,
C 
for Christ's sake
G 
I don't think so
F 
C 
I don't think so
All I can ever do is touch
G 
F 
But I  want you so fucking much tonight
C 
Is this ever going anywhere?
G 
I don't think so
F 
I don't think so
