Belle And Sebastian


Tom: F#

F#
I'm glad to see you
B
I had a funny dream
        A#m        G#m
You were wearing funny shoes
        A#m        G#m
You were going to a dance
        A#m                             Ebm     A#m     C#   C#sus4  C#
You were dressed like a punk but you were too young to remember

F#
Glad to see you
B
I'm outside the house
        A#m           G#m
I'm not thinking right today
     A#m              G#m
I've got no energy
        A#m             Ebm
I'm glad that you were waiting with me
                A#m      C#
Tell me all about your day

Ebm             A#m
Breaking off is misery
        Ebm          A#m
I see a wilderness for you and me
     Ebm                A#m
Punctuated by philosophy
        G#m             B          F#
And a wondering how things could've been

F#
I'm happy for you
B
You've made it hard for me
        A#m          G#m
I counted on your company
        A#m             G#m
You were staying with your friends tonight
        A#m             Ebm
I'm feeling sorry for myself
                A#m             C#
I keep taking everything to be to be a sign

F#
I'm happy for you
B
Now I know this hurt is poison
A#m           G#m
Too sharp to be bled
A#m             G#m
I'm sitting on my empty bed
        A#m
On my empty bed
   Ebm           A#m            C#
At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding

Ebm             A#m
I'd rather be in Tokyo
        Ebm             A#m
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
        Ebm             A#m
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
        G#m             B               F#
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

( F#  B  F#  B  F#  C#  F#  C# )

F#           B
Scary moment, lovin' every moment
     A#m                        G#m
I was high from playing shows
        A#m             G#m
We lost a singer to her clothes
    A#m                 G#m
My trouble raised its ugly head
        A#m
I was revealed
        Ebm
And I was home in bed
A#m     C#
I was a kid again

F#              B
Jesus told me, go after every coin
        A#m              G#m
Like it was the last in the world
        A#m             G#m
And protect the wayward child
        A#m
But I'm a little lost sheep
        Ebm
I need my Bo peep
                A#m             C#
I know I need my Shepherd here tonight

Ebm             A#m
Breaking off is misery
        Ebm          A#m
I see a wilderness for you and me
     Ebm                A#m
Punctuated by philosophy
        G#m             B          F#
And a wondering how things could've been

( F#  G#  A#  C#  F# )

F#
Id like to see you
B
But really I should stay away
   A#m          G#m
And let you settle down
        A#m             G#m
I've got no claims to your crown
        A#m
I was the boss of you
        Ebm
And I loved you
You know I loved you
    A#m       C#
It's all over now

F#              B
I was there for you
When you were lonely
        A#m             G#m
I was there when you were sad
        A#m             G#m
I was there when you were bad
        A#m
Now it's my time of need
           Ebm                          A#m     C#
Im thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?

Ebm             A#m
I'd rather be in Tokyo
        Ebm             A#m
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
        Ebm             A#m
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
        G#m             B               F#
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
