[Intro]

E C#m F#m B

[Verse]

                                        E
You used to get it in your fishnets
                                          C#m
Now you only get it in your night dress
                                                        F#m
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
                                        B
Landed in a very common crisis
                                       E
Everything's in order in a black hole
                                                C#m
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
                                               F#m
The Bloody Mary's lacking her Tabasco
                                                     B
Remember when you used to be a rascal?

[Chorus]

                       F#m
Oh the boy's a slag
                                  B
The best you ever had
                                  F#m
The best you ever had
              B                           F#m
Is just a memory and those dreams
                      B
But as daft as they seem
                       F#m
As daft as they seem
                             A
My love when you dream them up...

[Verse]

                                                   E
Flicking through a little book of sex tips
                                                       C#m
Remember when the boys were all electric?
                                                    F#m
Now when she's told she's gonna get it
                                                     B
I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it
                                            E
Clinging to not getting sentimental
                                              C#m
Said she wasn't going but she went still
                                               F#m
Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle
                                                      B
Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?

[Chorus]

    G#m                    C#m
Oh Flo, where did you go?
                     F#m
Where did you go?
                      G#m F#m
Where did you go? Woah.

[Instrumental]

E C#m F#m B

[Chorus]

E              C#m
Falling about
       F#m                                B
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
                      E                   C#m
You were just sounding it out
F#m                                    B
You're not coming back again.

E             C#m
Falling about
       F#m                                 B
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
                       E                   C#m
You were just sounding it out
F#m                                  B
You're not coming back again.

[Outro]

                                        E
You used to get it in your fishnets
                                           C#m
Now you only get it in your night dress
                                                         F#m
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
                                        B
Landed in a very common crisis
                                        E
Everything's in order in a black hole
                                                 C#m
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
                                              F#m
That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco
                                                   B         C#m
Remember when he used to be a rascal?
