Belle and Sebastian – Sleep The Clock Around (Guitar)

        C
And the moment will come when composure returns

      G
Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall

        Am
And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air

         F
Down the Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade

          C
Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way

        G
And for once in your life you've got nothing to say

          Am
And could this be the time when somebody will come

         F
To say, "Look at yourself, you're not much use to anyone"

       C
Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill

         G
Read the letter you got from the memory girl

       Am
But it takes more than this to make sense of the day

         F
Yeah, it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste

        C
And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that

             G
And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag

       Am
Of the United States of Calamity, hey!

      F
After all that you've done, boy, I know you're going to pay

       C
In the morning you come to the ladies salon

       G
To get all fitted out for The Paperback Throne

        Am
But the people are living far away from the place

          F
Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste

        C
And the puzzle will last until somebody will say

           G
"There's a lot to be done while your head is still young"

       Am
If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind

         F
Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine

                                          C
You can look at yourself, sleep the clock around

C G Am F
       sleep the clock around

C G Am F
       sleep the clock around

C G Am F
       sleep the clock around
