Belle and Sebastian - If She Wants Me: chords

           C                   G
I wrote a letter on a nothing day
             C                       G
I asked somebody "Could you send my letter away?"
              C                        G
"You are too young to put all of your hopes
        C        G
in just one envelope"

I said goodbye to someone that I love
It's not just me, I tell you it's the both of us
And it was hard
Like coming off the pills
that you take to stay happy

Someone above has seen me do alright
Someone above is looking with a tender eye
Upon your face, you may think you're alone
But you may think again

Chorus:
                   C
If I could do just one near perfect thing
        G
I'd be happy
                        C
They'd write it on my grave,
                          G
or when they scattered my ashes
                       Am
On second thoughts I'd rather hang about and
     C
be there with my best friend
             Gmaj7 Gsus4 Gmaj7 Gsus4
If she wants me

And far away, somebody read the letter
He condescends to read the words I wrote about him
And if he smiles, it's no more than a genius
deserves
For all your curious nerve and your passion

I'm going deaf, you're growing melancholy
Things fall apart, I don't know why we bother at all
But life is good and 'It's always worth living
At least for a while'

Chorus

If you think to yourself 'What should I do now'?
Then take a baton, girl, you better run with it
'Cause there is no point in standing in the past
'Cause it's over and done

I took a book and went into the forest
I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you
But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness
So I went home

Chorus - x2

If she wants me, yeah
       Gsus4      Gmaj7
If she wants me, yeah
       Gsus4      Gmaj7
If she wants me, yeah
