Things Come in Threes

Jazzy soft rock?
A (fictional!) song about an annoying girlfiend’s best friend, strangely enough written in India. Something sparked the title, I forget what. Steve suggested the pie mash and peas fadeout…

I'm a romantic I believe in love
And I know you're the one for me
It would be fantastic if you'd give her the shove
But I fear that it isn't to be...

|E’ B6 |D A6 | x4
|B |B |

Things come in threes
Like the birds and the bees and the trees
Or me you and your best friend Denise
When she's playing gooseberries
Things come in threes

|E’ B6 |D A6 | x3
|B |A |
Things come in threes
When will I ever get you alone
Shake off your chaperone
Oh please
Things come in threes
Riff: |E’ B6 |D A6 |xn E,

You are perfection in so many ways
You know that the list never ends
There's a connection we're clearly in phase
Except when it comes to your friends

I try my hardest, I give it my all
But sometimes I fear I can't win
I'd break free but you've got me in thrall
Though you're joined at the hip like a Siamese twin
