Belle and Sebastian - Poor Boy: chords

G#      Cm                               D#
Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
G#      Cm                    D#
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
G#      Cm
Poor boy, I could never live up to your
   D#
hallucination
G#      Cm                    D#
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed

G#       Cm                        D#
I had a dream that trouble always starts
              G#
in someone's head
                Cm                           D#
And dreams are real, when you're asleep you may
            G#
as well be dead
        Cm                        D#             G#
I predicate the last ten years on figuring we’d meet
           Cm                       D#
After the war, in some strange city on
a stranger shore

E                D#m               C#
So you think I'd waste my life on this
(to be your comfort when you needed me)
E        D#m
Lady everlasting friendship

Chorus:
C#                           Cm7         D#
Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
C#                 Cm7        D#
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
C#                           Cm7
Poor boy, I could never live up to your
   D#
hallucination
C#                 Cm7        D#
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed

We had a time
If we could have it back over again
I'd be a force
Not so polite and not so delicate
I'd trot around
On velvet socks so I could not be felt
I was your fan
Waiting for the day when this God will start to

Talk to me, don't venerate me now
I'm not a golden calf to be adored
See my heart beat, smell my sweet skin

Chorus

      C#              D#
If I carry you in my heart
          C#                       D#
Will you ease the pain or make it harder
           A#m7                       Cm7
I know you like to let me know you're there
(poor boy, I could never live up to your
imagination)
              A#m7                      Cm7
If the black clouds come, will you disappear
(poor boy, I was a crush)
          G#                   D#
Is there space in my life for you
        C#m7      G#               D#
Will I see you tomorrow or will I ride on

Chorus

I could never live up
(Crush)
(Crush)
(Crush)
(Crush)
