[Verse]
C
Well Jamie gets home from work
Am
Puts a record on
D7                             G
Fixes up the dinner, waits for Lily to come
C
She's been teaching all day
Am
She's got papers to mark
D7                               G
She agrees with the kids when it comes to homework
C
But there's a veggie lasagna
Am
Left from last night
D7                                G
She could warm it up, do a little salad on the side
C
She lays the table
Am
Pours two glasses of juice
D7                                      G
She hears her coming up the stairs, her key goes in the lock
C
Then Lily gets home from work
Am
Kicks off her shoes
D7                         G
She smiles at Jamie and it lights up the room
C
She's just back from the hospital
Am
Another double shift
D7                                                  G
She knew that nursing wasn't gonna be easy, but she wasn't expecting this
C
In fact the only thing
Am
That got her through today
D7                                  G
Was knowing she'd be coming home to Jamie, gay
 
[Instrumental]
C
 
[Chorus]
F
Dancing round the kitchen
G
Time is standing still
          F                          G              G/C
And for a moment we forget about the worries of the world
F
Teaching and nursing
            G
It's been a really long day
    F                          G                 G/C
But Jamie and Lily count their blessings all the same
 
[Verse]
C
The rent in Brighton
Am
Isn't cheap
D7                         G
Which is annoying, because that's where they live
C
And that's all Jamie wanted
Am
When she was growing up
D7                          G
To move to Brighton, find a girl and fall in love
C
That's exactly how it happened
Am
When she met Lily
D7                          G
Love at first sight and the rest is history
C
Jamie went to work
Am
To help pay for Lily's training
D7                                     G
But they toughed it out together, both scrimping and saving
C
Until that final day
Am
They both fully qualified
D7                         G
Now just like Jamie, she's working all the time
 
[Chorus]
F
Dancing round the kitchen
G
Time is standing still
          F                          G              G/C
And for a moment we forget about the worries of the world
F
Teaching and nursing
            G
It's been a really long day
    F                          G                 G/C
But Jamie and Lily count their blessings all the same
 
[Outro]
      F
Well, teachers and nurses
        G
Are the fabric of society
    F                               C    G
And they deserve to be treated like royalty
          F
So that's how they treat each other
G
Jamie and Lily
        F          C              G          C
Because love stays true while the world goes crazy
    F          C              G          C
Oh, love stays true while the world goes crazy
