Loving Someone

The 1975


Tom: G

                 C
   You should be loving someone
           D              Bm
   Oh, oh, loving someone
                       C
   Yeah, you should be loving someone
           D              Bm 
   Oh, oh, loving someone
Bm 
   yeah, you should be...


C  C  D  D  

[Verse 1]
C
My heart is telling me the telly 
C
 isn't telling me anything
C 
 I need but it needs to keep 
C 
  you selling me

D
Beside celebrities lacking in integrity
Bm
Holding up the status quo instead of
             C 
Showing your kids, that they matter  
C
 who're you gonna batter next?
C 
 Just keep hold of their necks 
                      D
And keep selling them sex
D 
it’s better if we keep them perplexed
     Bm
It's better if we make them 
Bm
  want the opposite sex
    C
And disenfranchised young criminal minds
C 
in a car park beside where your 
C 
 nan resides
        D
Are not slow, they've just never 
     Bm
Been shown, and that you should be

[Chorus]
C
Loving someone
        D              Bm
Oh, oh, loving someone
                    C
Yeah, you should be loving someone
        D              Bm
Oh, oh, loving someone
Bm
Oh, oh...

[Verse 2]
C
We're all human, we're just like you man
C
 we're sentient or something or other
C 
 I can't remember, whatever
D
 We shouldn't have people afloat
          Bm
If it was safer on the ground, 
Bm
  we wouldn't be on a boat
C
Charlatan telepathy, exploiting insecurity, 
C
 and preying on the purity
                                  D
Of grief and it's simplicity but I know 
D 
that maybe I'm too skeptical
     Bm
Even Guy Debord needed spectacles, 
Bm 
  you see
C
I'm the Greek economy of cashing 
C 
intellectual cheques, and I'm
C 
 trying to progress  
      D                Bm
But instead of selling sex...
Bm
 and I think I should be...

[Chorus]
C
Loving someone
        D              Bm  
Oh, oh, loving someone
                    C
Yeah, you should be loving someone
        D              Bm
Oh, oh, loving someone
                    C
Yeah, you should be loving someone
        D              Bm
Oh, oh, loving someone
                    C
Yeah, you should be loving someone
        D              Bm
Oh, oh, loving someone
                    C  
Yeah, you should be  

[Bridge]
C
I am forever alongside the boys 
C 
in jumpers on bikes
                           D 
From schools and cars with autumn leaves
D 
fallen sparse across the mid-afternoon
    C 
She blazed about how 'cultural language 
C 
is an operating system,
C 
 it's simple, interface
         D 
Rendered feeble and listless 
D 
when tested, divinity or a 
D  
true understanding of the 
D 
  human condition
  C 
I never did understand
C 
the duality of art and reality
                                D 
Living life and treating it as such
 
there's a certain disconnect
D
  with the culture that cajoles 
D 
  at the artist with comfort and abandon
C 
 Between the spires and the morning boozer 
C 
 that likes sitting at that orange 
C 
  English light
     D
Cast only one, singular shadow
D 
for you are not beside but within me 

[Chorus]
C
Loving someone
        D              Bm  
Oh, oh, loving someone
                    C
Yeah, you should be loving someone
        D              Bm
Oh, oh, loving someone
                    C
Yeah, you should be loving someone
        D              Bm
Oh, oh, loving someone
                    C
Yeah, you should be loving someone
        D              Bm
Oh, oh, loving someone
N.C.
 Oh, oh
