Tonight I Fancy Myself
by Paul Heaton and David Rotheray

Intro:
C F C F C F C F

C                       F
She'd brought along the oranges
C                F
He'd brought the tea
Dm                          F                C    F C F
They'd both brought along a sick-bag just in case

The plate of chicken sandwiches
Were lovely they agreed
      Dm                   F             C    F C F
And I watched him spit the bits into her face

"Do you love me like you used to" he sighs
   Dm                G            C    F C F
"I love you twice as much" she replies
They were on the train to Venice, where else?
  Dm              G       C    F C F
I think tonight I fancy myself

G

[Chorus]
           C                   F
I'd rather drink that toast to my own health
        C                  G
I think tonight I'd rather love myself
           C                   F
And if you drink that drink to your own health
        C                  G         C F C F
I think tonight I'd rather love myself
[end Chorus]

Later in the evening
The sun came rolling down
         Dm                 F             C     F C F
And they talked about their fantasies and fears

Between the heavy breathing
And those lighter licking sounds
  Dm               F                     C   F C F
I heard him whisper this question in her ear

"Would you still love me if I lost my legs?"
     Dm                G                  C    F C F
"I'd see that you were loved and you were fed"
"I end up in a car crash almost dead"
     Dm             G              C     F C F
"For richer and for partly severed head"

[Chorus]

Am                                   G
The neighbours ask them out but they flatly refuse
Am                                G
"We're saving up for a world-wide cruise"
       Am                                     G
With a choice between loneliness and lovesick QE2's
               Am            Em-G-C F C F
Well tonight I choose - self abuse

A four-pack in the fridge
A good book on the shelf
  Dm                G             C
I think tonight I'd rather love myself
