Camera Obscura


Tom: B

Intro: B - C#m (x3)  B

[verse]
B                C#m            B         C#m
I'd like to have company during thunderstorms
B               C#m                  B                C#m
I'd like you to fall for me but it'd soon turn lousy and wrong
B            C#m    B                   C#m
I meant what I said all I want is to be one of the best

[verse]
B               C#m                  B                C#m
been getting some extra help from a special band
B                    C#m                  B                C#m
oh yeah they've been helping us out and we're thankful they're lending a hand
B               C#m                  B                C#m
here is my request: play the ones that we all know the best

[chorus]
B          C#m
I don't do crowds
B               C#m
everyone put it down to rudeness
              B 
I laughed out loud
                      C#m
could they all see that it was madness?
D#m                           C#m
please come to save me from myself again
                    D#m
to shield me, to disguise
                  C#m
oh my heart has a secret
                       B     C#m
and this will make you sigh
       B    C#m
and me cry

[verse]
oh will there be dancing in the hall tonight?
cause if there is dancing, I won't lack fight
It seems I'm less afraid of life itself than of what you see

[verse]
you turned the heads of every boy and girl alike
would you have them all if there were enough hours in the night?
you took care of your skin sure did help but it didn't solve everything

[chorus]
I don't do crowds
everyone put it down to rudeness
I laughed out loud
could they all see that it was sadness?
please come to save me from myself again
to shield me, to disguise
oh my heart has a secret
and this will make you sigh
and me cry

[verse]
I find it funny that you never even knew
all the times when I stole a look from you
oh what's in my mind
oh they're gonna put me away this time
