Belle and Sebastian - A Plague On Other Boys: chords

C#
Hey Jane
Watching over you in Nebraska
The flood planes
Move over the farms, a disaster
    C#m
The sun heats
Air until it swirls in tornadoes
     B                 G#
But you move solemnly along

She says you will be the consummate scholar
And she says,
'do you know the world is your oyster?'
And the man says,
'come and we will climb Mount Olympus'
But all you want is to be there

Chorus:
                         D#m  G#
in the presence  of her smile
                        D#m  G#
In the presence of her smile
                         C# F#
In the presence of her smile

We are circling over clouds, we are tethered
Wondering when you're gonna hit bumpy weather
Your heart skips every time you detect
her fragrance
She's out there stinking up the late evening
                D#m G#
air with other boys

Chorus:
A plague on other boys
How this feeling does annoy you
A plague on other boys

They say, 'How can you know love? You're a minor'
And you say, 'What else could I know?
This defines me'
I start growing, I'm a mess, I'm defeated
My grade-point average went to hell

Watching, listening for a cultural movement
Get strong lenses to see into the future
March on Washington, if she's in the vanguard
Base your politics on what she's
got written on a flag

What she's written on a flag
What she's written on a flag
My body's mine and you're a drag
What she's written on a flag
What she's written on a flag
People are good and walls are madness
She wrote it on a flag

Ten long years it took to shake the memory
The pain, humiliation
But then suddenly you realized you're free
To fraternize again
She got married, stayed in town, and raised a home
See her at Thanksgiving
There's a roped-up part of every human heart
For the first one you love
