version 6
There's one slightly uncommon chord in the intro: - G#7sus4: 464644
Intro: G#7sus4 E x3 | C#m F#
G#m B
The city freeze for
E B D#m
I just realised I don't like you
G#m B
Me and my girl
E B D#m
Are going out for some air
G#m B
And I will do my best
E B D#m
Just to get under her dress
G#m B
And catch you out if I can
E B D#m
On the other side of my sofa
G#m B F#
Won't you come on over
C#
At the side of my sofa
G#m B F# C#
Oh won't you come on over
Then theres a kickass solo over the verse progression, and the rest of the
song follows the same chord changes.
