Belle and Sebastian – The Stars Of Track And Field (Guitar)

A               Em           G
Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs

A                Em              D
Kissing girls in English, at the back of the stairs

F                                   A
You're a honey, with a following of innocent boys

           D
They never know it

                  A
Because you never show it

                    E
You always get your way

A          D
They never know it

                  A
Because you never show it

                    E
You always get your way

A                     Em              G
Have you and her been taking pictures of your obsessions?

A               Em                   D
Because I met a boy who went through one of your sessions

F                                 
In his blue velour and silk

        A
You liberated

              D
A boy I never rated

                      A
And now he's throwing discus

                     E
For Liverpool and Widnes

A       D
You liberated

              A
A boy I never rated

                   E
And now he's doing... business

E                                
The stars of track and field, you are

Em                               D
The stars of track and field are beautiful people

A               Em              G
Could I write a piece about you now that you've made it?

A               Em               D
About the hours spent, the wilderness in your training

F                       A
You only did it so that you could wear

           D 
Your terry underwear

             A     
And feel the city air

             E
Run past your body                   

A          D 
Your terry underwear

             A     
And feel the city air

             E
Run past your body

A               Em          G
Could I write a requiem for you when you're dead?

A                       Em                D
"She had the moves, she had the speed, it went to her head"

F                                 
She never needed anyone

           A
to get her round the track

               D                 
But when she's on her back

            A     
She had the knowledge

                E         
To get her into college

A              D                 
But when she's on her back

            A     
She had the knowledge

                E
To get her what she wanted

E                                
The stars of track and field, you are

Em                               D
The stars of track and field are beautiful people

E                                
The stars of track and field, you are

                                 Em
The stars of track and field, you are

                                 D
The stars of track and field are beautiful people

E                                
The stars of track and field, you are

                                 D
The stars of track and field are beautiful people

E                                
The stars of track and field, you are

                                 D
The stars of track and field are beautiful people

E                                 Em 
The stars of track and field, you are

                                  G
The stars of track and field, you are

                                 D
The stars of track and field are beautiful people
