Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister: chords

Amaj7
Anthony walked to his death because
                                Emaj7
he thought he'd never feel this way again
Amaj7
If he goes back to the house then things
                                Emaj7
would go from bad to worse what could he do?
Amaj7
He wants to remember things exactly as
                     Emaj7
he left them on that funny day
Amaj7
And if there is something else beyond,
he isn't scared because
     F#m
It's bound to be less boring than today
A                              Amaj7
Bound to be less boring than tomorrow

Hilary went to her death
Because she couldn't think of anything to say
Everybody thought that she was boring
So they never listened anyway
Nobody was really saying anything of interest,
she fell asleep
She was into S&M and bible studies
Not everyone's cup of tea, she would admit to me
Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
Her cup of tea, she would admit to me
Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one

Hilary went to the Catholic Church
Because she wanted information
The vicar or whatever took her to one side
And gave her confirmation,
Saint Theresa's calling her
The church up on the hill is looking lovely
But it didn't interest, the only things
she wants to know is
How and why and when and where to go
How and why and when and where to follow
How and why and when and where to go
How and why and when and where to follow

       C#m
But if you are feeling sinister
   B
Go off and see a minister
        A
He'll try in vain to take away the pain of
                      E    A E A
being a hopeless unbeliever

E
When she got back her spirituality was
                A
thrown into confusion
E
So she got a special deal on renting
                      A
from the man at Rediffusion
E
Look at me I'm on TV It makes up for
                           A
the shortcomings of being poor
E
Now I'm in a million pieces picked
up for deliberation
F#m
By the people listening at home
A
By the people watching on the telly
F#m
By the people listening at home
A
By the people watching on the telly

But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to take away
The pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
The chances are you'll probably feel better
If you stayed and played with yourself
