Belle and Sebastian - Allie: chords

Em   G                 D F#m
Allie, what would you do?
              C
When there's bombs in the middle east,
            Em
you want to hurt yourself
               A
When there's knives in the city streets,
            Em
you want to end yourself
              D
When there's fun in your mother's house,
              C     Am        B
you want to cry yourself to sleep

Em       G             D F#m
Allie, what would you do?
            C                          Em
With your fears, because they're adding one by one
          A                        Em
And your mountains are obscured behind the sun
         D
And the person that you could be is
 Em       G     C
crumbling into dust

       G                        C
You're in the mess 'cause you thought
       G
You'd be someone else

Chorus:
            Am                       Em
'Cause the tricks in your head are a lie
            Am                       Em
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie
            D
Yeah, the tricks in your head are
   Am                      Em
Tricks in your head are a lie

Allie, hand on your head
And a prayer from the soon-to-be-closing library
And if you looked from here, you would surely see
There's a softness in your heart,
there's a poetry to come

You bought that gun cause you thought
You'd be someone else

Chorus

     D                       C
You made a list of all your heroes
          D                             C
And you thought about what they went through
            Am                            G
Yeah, you thought about what they went through
           F
It's much darker, much harder,
     C/E                        D
than anything that happened to you

Allie, what would you do?
When your seven-year plan happens to someone else
And the people in your life you would happily shelf
When day falls night, you are truly on your own?

You're in this place cause you thought
You'd be someone else

Chorus

Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a lie
Yeah, the tricks in your head are a
Tricks in your head are a lie
