Belle and Sebastian - For the Price of a Cup of Tea: chords

         A#                    D#
For the price of a cup of tea
                     A#   D#
You'd get a line of coke
         A#                     D#
For the price of a night with me
                      G#  Fsus4  F
You'd be the village joke

For the price of a pint of milk
I'll tell you all I know
About the state of the world today
Sit down, enjoy the show

Chorus:
A#              D#
She had several hours to find a place to stay
A#                   D#
Try the coffee shop, but somewhere on the way
F                  D#
She heard about a place, somewhere she could go
F                    C
Walked a couple of blocks to her destination

         A#                  D#
For the price of a cup of tea
                  A#     D#
You'd get a seven inches
           A#                      D#
Soul black vinyl to stop your tears
                  G#
You can use my stereo
You might be the village joke but
     Fsus4           F
Don't listen to the gossip of the other folk

A#                                     D#
She just wants to be accepted in this place
                              A#
There's something in her face
                                 D#
She will always seem exotic and aloof
                              F
If you want to know the truth
                                                 D#
Her friend the stars dripping from the jewelled sky
                        F
When she was passing by
Would keep her calm
                            C
There was people that she knew,
at least she thought she did
C
Be easy on the kid!

Chorus:
Gm                   C
She took her winter coat from her plastic wrapper
A#               D#
Pushed back her fringe, see her birthmark
A#                      F
She can finally be the person she wanted to be
