Intro:
D

Verse 1:
D                          D
...There was a wayward lad...stepped out one morning
D                        D
...The ground to be his bed...the sky his awning

Pre-Chorus 1:
D         G A                    D
Neon, neon, neon...a blue neon lamp in a midnight country field
D                  G    A              D
Cows surround so you lean on, lean on...so much your hugs become hold-ons

Chorus 1:
D    Dsus2     G   G/F#     Em            A    A/G      F#m
Oh these three worn words, Oooooh that we whisper, like the rubbing hands of tourists in Verona...
                  D D/C# D/B D/A G F#m Em
I just want to love you in my own language

Bridge:
F#m      E         D          Bm     A    D
....Well that smell of sex, good like burning wood, the wayward lad lay claim
F#m    E         D    Bm     A         D
....To two thirsty girls from Hornsea, who left a note when morning came
F#m           E  D   Bm       A          D
Girls from the pool say hi....the road erodes at five feet per year along England's east coastline
F#m         E   D  Bm       A        D
Was this your first time?....love is just a button we pressed last night by the campfire

Chorus 2:
D    Dsus2     G   G/F#     Em            A    A/G      F#m
Oh these three worn words, Oooooh that we whisper, like the rubbing hands of tourists in Verona...
                  D D/C# D/B D/A G F#m Em
I just want to love you in my own language
