E A (3x)
G#m  B

[Verse 1]
E             A
Is that your washing powder
E               A
Little voice I hear getting louder
E                 A
It's one stupid thing to remind me
G#m              B
Of somebody I thought was behind me

[Pre-Chorus]
E                         A
Yes, they came back, and pushing the knife in
E            A
Slow down, you're caught in a whirlwind
E               A
I will hire a private detective
G#m                B
Trying to work it out in the end dear

[Chorus]
 E           A
Hey, don't just stand there
G#m                   B
There's no point in empty hands
      E          A
And wheres your boy tonight
G#m       B         E
I wonder do you realise
      A
What you have done
G#m             B
Cos I'm not pretending
          E        A
No more tricks and no more games
G#m           B
My tail's between my legs now

[Verse 2]
E               A
Yes, you keep talking and talking
E                A
Looking nice and isn't it boring
E
Then somebody else
        A
Who's wearing your perfume
G#m                B
Walks by and that really confuses me

[Pre-Chorus]
E
   So come back
A
Stop pushing the knife in
E                   A
Slow down, you're caught in a whirlwind
E                A
I will hire a private detective
G#m                B
Trying to work it out in the end dear

[Chorus]
 E           A
Hey, don't just stand there
G#m                   B
There's no point in empty hands
      E          A
And wheres your boy tonight
G#m       B         E
I wonder do you realise
      A
What you have done
G#m             B
Cos I'm not pretending
          E        A
No more tricks and no more games
G#m           B
My tail's between my legs now

[Bridge]
C#m B E
      And look at your hair
A F#m B
      Well that's not you
C#m B E
      And you paint your face
A F#m B
      I still see through

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E                A
It's just your washing powder
E               A
Like a voice i hear getting louder
E            A
One stupid thing to remind me
G#m              B
Of somebody i thought was behind me

[Pre-Chorus]

My tail's between my legs now


[Outro]
E            A

E            A
Little voice I hear getting louder
E
It's one stupid thing to remind me
G#m              B
Of somebody I thought was behind me
