[Intro]
D / Dmaj7    Em / Em7    A / A6 x2

[Verse 1]
D                                      Em                                  A
The word's on the street: you've found someone new.
D                                     Em                            A
If he looks nothing like me I'm so happy for you.
C                        A                    D              F#
I heard an old girlfriend has turned to the church -
C                       A                                       D
she's trying to replace me, but it'll never work.
                                         Bm
'Cos every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
Em                                               G
And every time he kisses you it leaves behind the
                                             D
bitter taste of saccharine.

[Verse 2]
D                                         Em                           A
A bad cover version of love is not the real thing.
D                                       Em                          A
Bikini-clad girl on the front who invited you in.
C                            A                                              D          F#
Such great disappointment when you got him home -
                               C                A                            D
the original was so good; the one you no longer own.
                                         Bm
And every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
Em                                                G
And every time he kisses you, you get the taste of saccharine.
             D                                      Bm
It's not easy to forget me, it's so hard to disconnect
                        Em                                  G                 D
When it's electronically reprocessed to give a more life-like effect.

[Chorus]
G
Aah, sing your song about all the sad imitations that
                      D
got it so wrong
D                                                          Em
It's like a later "Tom & Jerry" when the two of them
could talk
               A                          G
Like the Stones since the Eighties, like the last days
                  D
of Southfork.
D                                                        Em
Like "Planet of the Apes" on TV, the second side of "'Til the Band Comes in"
              A
Like an own-brand box of cornflakes: he's going to let
                            D
you down my friend.
