Your Covers Blown Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

F♯mSay what you want and leave your shyness home,

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.

F♯mWrite down a list of things you want to do,

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.

F♯mPlanning 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?

F♯mI'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

My bold change of tack will fade out with the summer I've got no appetite and all the

girls are bummers

(Continues with G, B, Em, and C until the last verse)

Hey lady, meet my mum and dad

You're a strange aberration

In this land of potted plants and boxlike houses

Where the girls like mouses

Breathe a long sigh of resignation

You resign your self to keep on growing

Like the seeds you're sowing

You're a strange apparition In this land of grammar schools and gala days

The ladies set in their ways

You had a long conversation With a kid next door

He's a little slow

But in your favour, it shows

Cancel all operations

Tell your friends to move out to the sticks.

EmListen lady, leave the Bboy home

 Cancel Call operations

 Tell your Bfriends there's more to you than Emthis.
