[Verse]
        A                     
There's always somebody taller
Gbm  F            
With more of a wit
    A                            
And he's equipped to enthrall her
Gbm     F                     
And her friends think he's fit
    A                         F 
And you just can't measure up no
    F                  
You don't have a prayer
A                  Gbm              F7 
Wishing that you'd made the most of her
F7                
When she was there
E                  
They've got engaged
Gb                               
There's no intention of a wedding
D                     
He's pinched your bird
F                                A 
And he'd probably kick your head in


[Chorus]
       D               A          
Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
                     D           A     
Oh you're better off without her anyway
             D                     A 
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
         D               A     
Yeah but I know you were though


[Verse]
                              A    
Now you don't know what she's up to
             A     
You can only assume
                             Gbm       
If she's not in front of the shops then
F                   A   
They've gone to his room
                             Gbm         
Bet she's gone 'round in her school stuff
F                  A    
Bet that's what he likes
                           Gbm      
I know you thought she was different
        F7              E   
And you thought she was nice
    E             
But she's not nice
Gb                                
She's pretty fucking far from nice
D                         
She's looking at you funny
F                           A
Rarely looking at you twice ■


[Chorus]
            D          A          
Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
                     D           A     
Oh you're better off without her anyway
             D                     A 
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
              D                    
Yeah but it's clear you were though

[Verse]
A7   A   A7               A         
Have you heard what she's been doing
             A     
Never did it for me
                A                 
He picks her up at the school gate
          F    A    
At twenty past three
                    A           
She's been with all the boys but
           A7   A  
Never went very far
               A                  
And she wagged English and Science
              F   E  
Just to go in his car
            Gb     
They've got engaged
                          D      
There's no intention of a wedding
                D   
He's pinched me bird
         F                E         
And he'd probably kick my head in oh
        Gb              
Now the girls have grown
D                                                          A
Yeah but I'm sure that they still carry on in similar ways ■


[Chorus]
D                      A          
Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
              D               A     
Oh I'm better off without her anyway
         D                 A     
I said I wasn't sad to see her go
D                 A                  
Yeah but I'm only pretending you know
D             A                  
Yeah I'm only pretending you know
D          A                  
I was only pretending you know
D          A                   D A
I was only pretending you know ■ ■
