Chinese

"Chinese"

by Lily Allen

standard tuning

verse 1

F Fmaj7 Gm

I see you from the sky

Dm Bb Gm C

And I wonder how long it will take me to get home

F Fmaj7 Gm

I wait for an hour or so at the carousel

Dm Bb

I have a cigarette to pass the time

Gm C

Cause the traffic's hell

Dm C F Fmaj7

chorus

F Am

I don't want anything more

Cm

Than to see your face when you open the door

Bb

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

F

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

Am

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

Cm

And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

Bb

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

F

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

verse 2

F Fmaj7 Gm

You wipe the tears from my eye

Dm Bb Gm C

And you say that all that it takes is a phone call

F Fmaj7 Gm

I cry at the thought of being alone and then

Dm Bb Gm C

I wonder how long it will take til I'm home again

Dm C F Fmaj7

chorus

F Am

I don't want anything more

Cm

Than to see your face when you open the door

Bb

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

F

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

Am

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

Cm

And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

Bb

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

F

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

verse 3

F Fmaj7 Gm

I know it doesn't seem so fair

Dm Bb Gm

But I'll send you a postcard when I get there

chorus

F Am

I don't want anything more

Cm

Than to see your face when you open the door

Bb

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

F

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

Am

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

Cm

And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

Bb

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

F

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
