Belle & Sebastian
Tabbed by Petey Sykes
This is an alteration of the previous version on here, which was great but a few chords
wrong. This should work better. It's easier to play if you tune down a semitone (see
at the bottom). Hope you enjoy :-)

F# B Scary moment, lovin' every moment A#m G#m I was high from playing shows A#m G#m We lost a singer to her clothes A#m G#m My trouble raised its ugly head A#m I was revealed B And I was home in bed A#m C# I was a kid again F# B Jesus told me, go after every coin A#m G#m Like it was the last in the world A#m G#m And protect the wayward child A#m But I'm a little lost sheep B I need my Bo peep A#m C# I know I need my Shepherd here tonight

F# I’d like to see you B But really I should stay away A#m G#m And let you settle down A#m G#m I've got no claims to your crown A#m I was the boss of you B And I loved you A#m You know I loved you C# It's all over now F# B I was there for you
When you were lonely
A#m G#m I was there when you were sad A#m G#m I was there when you were bad A#m Now it's my time of need B A#m C# I’m thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?
