Belle and Sebastian - Your Cover's Blown: chords

F#m7
"So how do we know each other,
and how do you have my number?
Well why don't you guide me? You be the driver."

F#m7
Say what you want and leave your shyness home
And you should do what you want and write
a little poem
Leave it for her and live another day
And you should leave it for her, the girl
around the way

Write down a list of things you want to do
And then you leave it in work because you
want to live a little
Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed Mini
Take her to dinner, use her boyfriend's money

Chorus:
A                  C#
Hey lady, put the phone down

Your cover's blown

Planning a break is such a tricky thing
Because you move to the country,
she comes back again
And then you move to the city,
but she goes abroad
Is she telling you something? Is she getting bored?

I'll make a rough plan to sleep around, I'm in a rut
I need a change, I'm a lazy rat, if I am honest
But my bold change of tact will
fade out with the summer
I've got no appetite and all the girls are bummers

Em               G
My baby doesn't look at me
           A
The way I want her to look
              Bm  F#m A
She doesn't "comprend"
Em                G
My baby's got it going on
              A                            Bm  F#m
She's got a friend hid in every street in this town
   G                         Am G F  E
I want to go out but there's nobody home .
              Am
I'll go on my own

Am
Thus starts the lonely walking
Dm                              E
There's always too much talking I should
             Am
have stayed home
Am
She starts her cool caressing
Dm
The kid, she starts undressing
E                  Am G F E
I should've stayed home
Am
The dj's picking up speed
Dm
That's something I just don't need
E                  Am
I should've stayed home
Am
The gossip's bearing down on me,
Dm                           E
The kids are pairing off in front of me.
                   Am   G F E
I should've stayed home
                   Am   G F E
I should've stayed home
                Am
I think I'll go home

Hey lady, meet my mum and dad
           Em
You're a strange aberration
         C                        G
In this land of potted plants and boxlike houses
           B
Where the girls like mouses
           Em                     C
Breathe a long sigh of resignation
                        G
You resign yourself to keep on growing
          B
Like the seeds you're sowing
           Em                        C
You're a strange apparition in this land
                        G
of grammar schools and gala days
            B
The ladies set in their ways
           Em                       C
You had a long conversation with a kid next door
        G
He's a little slow
             B
But in your favour, it shows
       Em
