They

<a href="http://tommilsom.bandcamp.com/track/they">They by Tom Milsom</a>

They say all’s fair in love and war
Gm Dm
But this war’s not fair and my heart’s still sore
F C
Who the hell are they anyway
Bb F
The ones who say tomorrow’s just another day
Bb F
And there are plenty more fish in the sea
C
Not for me

I’m finding I’m someone different these days
Tired of clichés tired of old wives’ tales
There’s not an aphorism made that can hold me back
Why won’t you hold me back like you used to do
Don’t tell me it’s not me if it’s not you

And when I leave the house
They want to know why I’m alone
Why I’m the only lost and lonely soul alive today
So they say
So why do they keep talking at me
Telling me that I’m the one who’s wrong
One size fits all would seem to be their thinking’s lowdown
But it barely works for socks why would it work for mental breakdowns

And they say you’ll never love me
The way that I love you
But they’ve not been right so far
So I think that I’ll continue to
  • Is "Listen to They" correct? I was taught to say, "Listen to Them." But don't listen to I.

    Hi
    I love this it's great! :D
    However, should the lyrics say "Don’t tell me it’s not me if it’s not you." rather than "Don’t tell me it’s me if it’s not you."?
    Just so you know :)
    You have awesome muscical skills!! :D

    Hi, just wanted to let you know that you're missing a verse and some of the lyrics are wrong (most likely because you've copied it from the DFTBA wiki which was written before the release of the album). I wanted to add the missing verse to the wiki so I just wanted to make sure what I've heard is right before posting it:

    "And when I leave the house they want to know
    Why I'm alone, why I'm the only lost
    And lonely soul alive today,
    So they say."

    So if that's wrong could you please correct me, and if that's right tell me and I'll update the wiki. Thanks.

    Hi,

    Just wanted to let you know you missed out a verse (most likely because you may have copied from the DFTBA Wiki). I wanted to fix this error on the wiki, but wanted to check I've gotten the verse right first. From using your Student Breakfast Show video (because it's less produced and so easier to understand), I've managed to deduce that the lyrics sound like:

    And when I leave the house they want to know
    Why I'm alone, why I'm the only lost
    And lonely soul alive today,
    So they say.

    So if these are wrong could you please correct me, or if they're right tell me and I'll update the wiki. Thanks.

    Heyo, you're absolutely right. These lyrics weren't put here by me, but by someone else working on the site for me who presumably either took them from the wiki or just listened through :D They're correct now. Go wild!

    Tom
