Belle and Sebastian - When We Were Very Young: chords

Fm
I can see mountains
G#
I can see sky
            D#
I sometimes wish that I was blind
            C#
To all the futures that we left behind
Fm
I walk on shaky ground
G#
Nervous, I leave the house
        A#
In the dark before the dawn
      C#
A commuter with no place to run

Chorus:
C#                                  Fm
I wish I could be content with the football scores
A#m                                 D#
I wish I could be content with the daily chores
        D#m                     G#  F7
With my daily worship of the sublime

Last night, I was afraid
My head was locked in pain
I thought, "A person could go mad!"
No one can help you when it gets this bad

But I thought about your way
I had a picture of your face
I was wishing you the best
Sending you love with every tired breath

Chorus:
I wish I could be content with the football scores
I wish I could be content with my daily chores
With my daily worship of the sublime

When we were very young,
we loved our selfish fun
We cared what people thought
about our selfish words
You could not tell us then
how much we wouldn't care
'Bout all the mindless trivia,
now we've got kids and dystopia

Chorus:
I wish I could be content with the football scores
I wish I could be content with my daily chores
With my daily worship of the sublime
I wish I could walk away from my scars and sores
I wish I could walk away from the 'No one gets me'
From my sense of envy to the benign

I wish I could be content with the football scores
I wish I could be content with my daily chores
With my daily worship of the sublime
I wish I could walk away from my scars and sores
