Belle and Sebastian - Act of the Apostle II: chords

     A                        G#          G#7
I'm bored out of my mind Too sick to even care
C#m7                             C#m7  Cm7 Bm7
I'll take a little walk Nobody's going to know
Bm7                   C#m7                     D
I'm in senior year It gives you a little free time
                 E
I'll just use it all at once!

Took the fence and the lane
The bus then the train
Bought an Independent to make me look like
I got brains
I made a story up in my head if anybody would ask
I'm going to a seminar!

Chorus:
     D            Dm
I'm a genius I'm a prodigy
            A
A demon at Maths and Science
    A   G# G  F#  F#7
I'm up for a prize
        C                Bm
If you gotta grow up sometime
                         A G# G F# F#7
You've to do it on your own
          C                        Bm
I don't think I could stand to be stuck
                                 A   E F# G G#
That's the way that things were going

The bible's my tool
There's no mention of school!
My Damascan Road's my transistor radio
I tune in at night when my mum and
my dad start to fight
I put on my headphones

Chorus:
And I tune out
I am devout
The girls are singing about my life
But they're not here, they've got the wild life
If you want to find out, find out
You got to look them in the eye
That's why my only choice
Is find the face behind the voice?

    A                    Dm/A
She asked the man if the service was open
  G                   D/F#
"Not today, just the choir from the radio"
A                        Dm/A
"Couldn't I sit in? I've come all this way"
           G                    D/F#
"Will you bugger off, I've got work to do!"
B             D              A A/G# A/G A/F# A/E
The city was losing its appeal
B                      D
God was asleep He was back in her village,
             A A/G# A/G A/F# A/E
in the fields

C                    F
Oh, if I could make sense of it all!
   C                                    F
I wish that I could sing I'd stay in a melody
(I would float along in my everlasting song)
C
What would I do to believe?
