"Is it wicked not to care?" (Isobel Campbell) From "The Boy with the Arab Strap" (1998) [verse]
       E                           Asus2              E
Is it wicked not to care when they say that you're mistaken,

E        Asus2               E                Bsus4
Thinking hopes and lots of dreams that aren't there?

       E                              Asus2       E
Is it wicked not to care when you've wasted many hours,

E       Asus2        E             Bsus4
Talking endlessly to anyone that's there?
[middle eight]
  F#m11
I know the truth awaits me,

                                Bsus4
But still I hesitate because of fear.
[verse]
         E
Skipping tickets, making rhymes,

E       Asus2           E
Is that all that you believe in?

E       Asus2             E          Bsus4
Wearing rags to make you pretty by design.

E
Rusting armour for effect,

E       Asus2            E
Its not fun to watch the rust grow,

E   Asus2          E                Bsus4
For it will all be over when you're dead.
solo- middle eight chords [verse]
         E
Counting acts and clutching thoughts,

 E      Asus2           E
By the river where the moss grows,

 E             Asus2   E             Bsus4
Over rocks the water running all the time.

       E                          Asus2                 E
Is it wicked when you smile even though you feel like crying,

E     Asus2              E           Bsus4
Even though you could be sick at any time?
[middle eight]
    F#m11
But if there was a sequel,

          F#m11
Would you love me as an equal?

          F#m11            Bsus4
Would you love me till I'm dead?
[solo] [middle eight]
F#m11
If there was a sequel would you love me like an equal?

F#m11                      Bsus4
Would you love me till I'm dead?

    F#m11
And if there was a sequel would you love me as an equal?

                           Bsus4
Would you love me till I'm dead,

              Asus2          E
Or is there someone else instead?
