Verse 1:

Oh you shouldnt have kissed me and got me so excited

So we went to a pub in belsize park

And we cheered on england as the sky grew dark

Oh you shouldnt have kissed me cause you started a fire

But then I found out that youre a serial liar

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
Chorus
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
