Intro:
Am

Verse 1:
                     Am                      E
Oh you shouldnt have kissed me and got me so excited
                      E7               Am
And when you asked me out I really was delighted
                               A#
So we went to a pub in belsize park
                  E                       E7 stop
And we cheered on england as the sky grew dark

Bridge:
                     Am                            A#
Oh you shouldnt have kissed me cause you started a fire
                 E                       E7 stop
But then I found out that youre a serial liar

Chorus:
                    Am
You lied about your status
                    E
You lied about your life
                               G
You never mentioned your three children
                        C
And the fact you have a wife
                F          C
Now its england 2 colombia 0
                E                    E7
And I know just how those colombians feel

Verse 2:
If you hadnt passed out while I was talking to your friend
It could have really ended badly cause you very nearly had me
If he hadnt taken pity on my heart full of desire
I might never have found out youre a serial liar

Verse 3:
                G                               C
It is not in my nature to ever pick the winning team
                      E                           Am
Sometimes I think I'm happy then I remember its a dream
                  G                      C
Now it isn't in my nature to ever pick a winner
                E                                 E7 stop
I always pick a bastard who would have me for his dinner
            Am                       E
I can never possess the object of my desire
                        E7                 Am
Cause hes bound to turn out to be a serial liar
                                                 A#
Ok I didnt mention my kids, I thought I'd wait a bit
                  E                      E7 stop
But I am free and single and hes a lying git

Chorus:
Cause he lied about his status
He lied about his life
He forgot he had three children
He forgot he had a wife
And its england 2 colombia 0
I know just how those colombians feel

For this next verse put down that pick pull some random strings on the quaver notes.
Verse:
                Am                          E
So I got into a taxi and sobbed all the way home
                           E7                       Am
Called my friend up in Sao Paulo and cried down the phone
                                             A# (STRUM)
I played some tragic music and I lay down to die
            E                        E7
But later I woke and I hadnt stopped crying

You should never have kissed me, you tasted of deceit
Your perfume was adultery but I'm not a piece of meat
So Ill be the one that you couldnt acquire
I found out in time youre a serial liar

                    Am
You lied about your status
                    E
You lied about your life
                      G
And I pity your three children
                     C
And I pity your poor wife
                  F (stop)
Now you can go to hell
             C (stop)
I'm going to Brazil
                  E7         (Mess around on Am, F, Bb, and then land on A)
Still its england 2 colombia 0
