Belle and Sebastian – The Life Pursuit (Guitar)

D#7 x68686
* alays strum once

C
 What do you do when hope is all but gone?

                      G
You need a brother to lean - o-o-o-o-on

         E
But your brother's gone

                     Am                 Am* Am/G*
Your sister's in the wrong part of town

F                          C
 I took a walk to remember ecstasy

F                            Dm      G
 It's not today, not even yesterday

C
 Songs of praise all very well

                                             G
Their voices swell, they tug at sadness like love - tugging at your sleeve

      E
Is it worth the pain

                 Am          Am* Am/G*
To walk into the void again?

F                                   C
 In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light

             F
Light that's found beyond

        C
Your present situation

         F
And it's wide and it's broad

       C*
Beyond all estimation

C
Is your belly fat, is your man a twat?

                                     G
Do in-growing hairs provide you with strange fascination?

              E                               Am          Am* Am/G*
The highlight of your day is plucking all the roots away

F                            C
 You took a walk to remember ecstasy

F                         Dm         G
 It's not today, not even yesterday

F                                   C
 In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light

    B
The smallest of sparks

       Dm
He's a tinderbox

       C
He's a flaming torch

           Dm
Pinch your self quite hard

     C
In a place that hurts

      Dm
If it doesn't work

         C
Ask your friend to comply

            Dm
And if they hit the spot

        C
You can let yourself cry

             F                                     E
And when the teardrops stop, I will take you for a drive

                                  Am             G#    C
I'll explain all I know about the spiritual side

            F
Life that's found beyond

     C
Your present situation

         F
And it's wide and it's broad

C
Beyond all estimation

            F
Life that's found beyond

     C
Your present situation

         F
And it's wide and it's broad

               C
So, state your destination

            F
Life that's found beyond

     C
Your present situation

         F
And it's wide and it's broad

C
Beyond all estimation

            F
Life that's found beyond

     C
Your present situation

         F
And it's wide and it's broad
