INTRO . . . . . . . . .
I don't need to fall at your feet
Just 'cause you cut me to the bone
- And I won't miss the
way that you kiss me
We were nev-er carved in stone
- If I don't lis-ten to the talk of the town
Then may-be I can fool my-self...
- I'll get o-ver you... I know I will
I'll pre-tend my ship's not sink-ing
And I'll tell my-self I'm o-ver you
'cos I'm the king of wish-ful think-ing
I am the king of wish-ful think-ing
I ref-use to give in to my blues
That's - not how it's gon-na be
- And I de-ny the tears in my eyes
- I don't want to let you see.. no
That you have made a hole in my heart
And now I've got to fool my-self..
'Cos I'll get o-ver you.. I know I will
I'll pre-tend my ship's not sink-ing
And I'll tell my-self I'm o-ver you
'cos I'm the king of wish-ful....
I'll get o-ver you.. I know I will
I'll pre-tend my ship's not sink-ing
And I'll tell my-self I'm o-ver you
'cos I'm the king of wish-ful think-ing
I'll get o-ver you.. I know I will
I'll nev-er, ev-er shed a tear for - you
Then may-be I can fool my-self..
'Cos I'll get o-ver you.. I know I will
I'll pre-tend my ship's not sink-ing
And I'll tell my-self I'm o-ver you
'cos I'm the king of wish-ful think-ing
I'm the king of wish-ful think-ing
I'll get o-ver you.. I know I will
You - made a hole in my heart
But - I won't shed a tear for you
I'll be the king of wish-ful think-ing
I'll get o-ver you.. I know I will
I'll pre-tend my heart's still beat-ing
'Cos - I've got no more tears for you
I am the king of wish-ful think-ing..
