Belle and Sebastian - I Took a Long Hard Look: chords

          G         C
I took a long hard look
        G            C
At the heroes of my youth
          G              C
And their antics on the page there on
     G            C
Can no longer sustain me

G                   C
Ever since I was a boy
  G              C
They brought me joy
          G              C
But the shackles of the way I was
     G            C
Can no longer contain me

Chorus:
          G
It was exciting
      Dm7
And enlightening
   C             B
Reverberating through my dreams
     C   Am  D
Goodbye to reality
           C          D
And set a course for wayward schemes

Now I can't sing, I can't feel
I don't know what is real
I was traveling through the past for years
Tell me what's my destination
Now the past is gone
I don't even have a song
We've not sung before
To a closing door
Tell me what's my situation?

Chorus:
I saw the film, I lived the book
I got the haircut, that's all it took
But now I know it's gonna take
A little more now I'm awake

I took a long hard look
Now I'm waiting for the phone to ring
I glance at the inbox
Is there any tantalising mail there in?
There was lust in my restless heart
But now I know what true love means
Goodbye to reality
And set sail for dreams
