Belle and Sebastian – Unnecessary Drama (Guitar)

               Eb                             F       C
I read your letter from before, you've been having so much fun

F            Eb                           F      C
And is it possible you're just telling me to draw me in

F              Eb                        F      C
There's an array of douchebags lining up to play their stupid parts

F              Eb                               F
And did you ever pause before you gave your love away

                    C  Gm
And this is my life

               Eb            F
But this is my so-called life

                    C  Gm
But this is my life

               Eb       F
And this is my only life

                Eb                      F         C
And when you came to me that summer you were just a shell

F               Eb                        F     C
And you were holding close to mother, she was ashen with the strain

F              Eb                             F       C
And there was miles to go yet, miles to build that sister loving bond

F            Eb                            F
And then I figured that the music set your soul ablaze

         C               Gm                  Eb                  F
And it's probably not surprising that you're burning through the days

         C            Gm             Eb              F
But if I had a second encore I would probably do the same

           C        Gm              Eb                 F
And if the intimacy ever stops I'll miss your stories, miss your letters

C             Gm/D             Eb     F
Every awkward fumble should be framed

N.C.      Eb                        F            C
Enjoy the fervor of your love life 'cause it doesn't last

F             Eb                               F     C
And with a suddenness that is cruel everything can go to hell

F            Eb                             F       C
But then you find a new path, leave the old path, leave the games behind

F           Eb                               F
And on a morning climb you see the grime and feel amazed

           C                  Gm              Eb             F
I know you felt you gave your best but it was never going to do

               C          Gm             Eb          F
There's always gonna be a younger hungry idol coming through

          C                 Gm                Eb               F
I know it wasn't thrilling, just like living, you and me could talk like kissing

C           Gm/D         Eb   F
Every conversation was divine

                    C  Gm
And this is my life

               Eb            F
And this is my so-called life

                    C  Gm
But this is my life

               Eb       F
And this is my only life

                    C  Gm
And this is my life

               Eb            F
And this is my so-called life

                    C  Gm/D
But this is my life

               Eb       F
And this is my only life
