Belle and Sebastian - Enter Sylvia Plath: chords

Cm
Come, and steal my thoughts away
             A#
Thief of my identity
                    G#         G
I was holding on to decency, reality
Cm
Come, and take me for a while
             A#
Up to your abundant pace
                            G#             G
I’ll be your sidecar if you want to race, want
to race

Chorus:
G#
Put your hand on mine
                      D#
And take me from this tired ride
                  A#
Take me from this early night
                          Cm
From the sea and rain and countryside
       G#
If you talk to me then soon
               D#
I’ll be your accomplice in words
                 A#
And we will talk only in verse
              G
Talk only in verse

I, I will leave the ones I love
Leave them for the years to come
Even though I may be doing wrong, doing wrong
I will follow in your steps
Walk out to the station cold
Buy a ticket and then slowly go, slowly go

Chorus:
In this place and time
Easy is the first escape
I got money, I need no disguise
I'm a citizen and city-wise
In this time and place
There is no one who will shoot you down
There's no one who will take a girl
                        C
And tell her she can't have the world

Fm
Boy, you don’t know what you want
                   D#
It isn’t what you think it is
                              C#           C
All the dreams, and guilt and loneliness, loneliness
Fm
Boy, if we were to be friends
              D#
Subtle is the art required
                            C#           C
To draw the evil from this lonely pyre, lonely pyre

Chorus:
Take this hand from me
And guide me round your tools of work
Fashion me into your junior clerk
Let me live in shadows of your words
When things get tough for you
As they did when you came up through the ranks
You can borrow from my faith, from my faith
Take this hand from me
And guide me round your tools of work
Fashion me into your junior clerk
Let me live in shadows of your words
When things get tough for you
As they did when you came up through the ranks
You can borrow from my faith, from my faith

From my faith, from my faith
From my faith, from my faith
From my faith, from my faith
From my faith, from my faith
