Wait,
Verse 5
G
nah that's bullshit,

Cant sound like a wanker, (a girly chat),
So I gotta make a dash
for the petrol station,
Em
Cause their cards are perfect
G
for any occasion,
Em
I drop my razor and splash my (boat),
I grab some tracky- d's and
a random coat,

Then I'm on it with a wallet,

I'm running down the street with my face half shaven,
G

I get to the garage,
Panic scanning the rack,
Em
G
99 percent of the range is all crap,
Happy Birthday Dad, Worlds Best Mother,
Em
I Love You Sister,
G
You're a Special Brother,
No other bloody card with
a cover for a lover,
Em
Plus I'm getting kinda stressed

as I search for an other,
But this one struck me,
It's pink and funky,
Em
With a cartoon print of a drunken
monkey.

message reads,

Em
“Honey, I'll be there shortly”,

G
So like Kelly Holmes I sprint the home straight,
Em
I rip my tracky- d's as I hurdle the gate,
G
D
I crash through the door,
I fall up the stairs,
Em
G
Looking like I've been in intensive care,
The Biro's f**ked, the pencil's broken,
Em
I grab a Magic Marker
G
and write a token,
D
Of my appreciation for her,
Em
C
G
And the things that make her so per- fect,
S**t, there's the bell,
C

She looks in my eyes and sees my lies,
C

With a dubious face she
accepts the card,

She reads it,

drops it and slaps me hard,

I open it up and prepare for doom,
Em
G
The text in the card reads Get Well Soon.
