                               by Lily Allen
                              standard tuning

                         verse 1
              
I see you from the sky
                                          
And I wonder how long it will take me to get home
                             
I wait for an hour or so at the carousel
                      
I have a cigarette to pass the time
                     
Cause the traffic's hell

          

             chorus

                      
I don't want anything more
                                        
Than to see your face when you open the door
                                                
You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea
                                  
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
                                   
Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk
                                       
And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk
                                     
I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep
                                 
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV


                verse 2
                             
You wipe the tears from my eye
                                         
And you say that all that it takes is a phone call
                        
I cry at the thought of being alone and then
                                      
I wonder how long it will take til I'm home again

         

               chorus
                      
I don't want anything more
                                         
Than to see your face when you open the door
                                                
You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea
                                  
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
                                  
Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk
                                       
And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk
                                    
I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep
                                  
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

           
              verse 3
                  
I know it doesn't seem so fair
                                  
But I'll send you a postcard when I get there

                  chorus
                      
I don't want anything more
                                         
Than to see your face when you open the door
                                                 
You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea
                                  
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
                                   
Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk
                                       
And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk
                                     
I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep
                                   
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
