[Verse 1]
A9
Flowers, I sent
A9
Were found dead on their arrival
A9
The words, I said
A9
Inserted foot in my mouthful
A9
So when, we dance
A9
My lead it ain't so graceful
A5 C5 B5 A5 G5
Isn't so, not ain't so
[Chorus]
G7 C E7 Am
I'm a hapless romantic

St-t-tuttering p-p-poet

Just call me a 'Tragic Comic'

A9
And when, we dine
A9
I forget to push in your seat
A9
I wear the wine
A9
Spillin' hearts, all over my sleeve
A9
A stitch in time
A9
Proposing down on my knees

Splitting between the seams

Flowers, I sent
Were found dead on their arrival
The words, I said
Inserted foot in my mouthful
So when, we dance
My lead it ain't so graceful
Isn't so, not ain't so
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-p-poet
Just call me a 'Tragic Comic'
'Cause I'm, in, in love with you
And when, we dine
I forget to push in your seat
I wear the wine
Spillin' hearts, all over my sleeve
A stitch in time
Proposing down on my knees
Splitting between the seams
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-p-poet
Just call me a 'Tragic Comic'
'Cause I'm, in, in love with you
Nobody, can know the
Trouble I've seen
Nobody, can know the
Trouble I've seen
Nobody, can know the
Trouble I, get into
