Belle and Sebastian - Lord Anthony: chords

D                      A
Anthony, bullied at school
              G                 D        A
Get your own back, now you are cool, or are
you scared?
 D                           A
Bunking off though you're a toff
                      G                      Gm
It's all gone wrong again, you've got double maths
         D                    A
But the teacher's got no control
                   Bm                  Gm
The boys will run riot, you will stay quiet
             Em A#
Or you will die

 D                       A
Tony at the back of the gym
              G                       D
Smoke another one, your chances are slim
     A               D
Cos here they come again
                          A
And they got you on the ground
                G                       Gm
Tasting blood again, at least it's your own

Chorus:
               D                       A
When will you realize that it doesn't pay
                    Bm
To be smarter than teachers
              G
Smarter than most boys?
           D                        A
Shut your mouth, start kicking the football
             Bm                     Gm
Bang on the teeth, you're off for a week boy

You may as well take it in the guts - it can't
get worse
Take it in the guts - it can't get worse that this
Cause you'll soon be old enough to leave them
Without a notion of a care
You'll lift two fingers in the air to linger there

Tony, you're a bit of a mess
Melted Toblerone under your dress
If the boys could see you they would pass
you right by
Blue mascara running over your eye

Chorus:
When will you realize it doesn't pay
To be smarter than teachers
Smarter than most boys?
Shut your mouth, start kicking the football
Bang on the teeth, you're off for a week boy

They call you Lord Anthony
But hey, it could be worse than
(Anthony it could be worse)
Lord Anthony
But hey, it could be worse
(Anthony it could be worse)
Lord Anthony
But hey, it kind of suits you anyway
(Anthony it kind of suits you)
You'll soon be old enough to leave them
Without a notion of a care
You'll lift two fingers in the air to linger there
