Belle and Sebastian – When The Cynics Stare Back From The Wall (Guitar)

            E                           Esus4  E
There's somebody that I want you to know

        B                          B6
She's a sweet, sweet friend of mine

       C#m                      B
If she has a fault, she will go overboard

               E                             A
When there's a man around, she flirts like a child

         E                           Esus4  E  Esus4
Darling, take a hint once and for all

B                   B6
 Stay away from them

            C#m                         B
'Cause everything you say just seems to them so strange

                E                           A
They cross the street whenever they see you come

         E                          B
When the cynics stare back from the wall

               A
It's no fun at all

       E                                 Esus4  E
Honey, even when you feel flat and broken

           B                    B6
You got to trust to a happy mind

                   C#m                       B
You could put your faith in me if you've got eyes to see

            E                               A
And you got arms that wait for something to hold

         E                          B
When the cynics stare back from the wall

                A
It always feels cold

       C
When I saw you in the café today

                Em
Explain it all away to me

            Am
Everyone we know, every girl and boy

              G
Each one is a misery

            Dm
So look me straight in the eye

            F
And tell me you're alright

                          C
'Cause I want to know the truth

                  G
Nothing else will do

                  Am    E    Am    E
Nothing else will do

       E                                 Esus4  E
If you keep making the same mistakes over

              B
You're like a puppy with a broken leg

               C#m                   B
Hey, and if it goes okay, you've got me to blame

             E                      A
For being so cynical, and never the boy

            E                               B
You used to laugh at till you cried on your bed

                  F#
At all the stupid things I said

                  A
At all the stupid things I said

       C
When I saw you in the café today

                Em
Explain it all away to me

            Am
Everyone we know, every girl and boy

              G
Each one is a misery

            Dm
So look me straight in the eye

            F
And tell me you're alright

                          C
'Cause I want to know the truth

                  G    E
Nothing else will do

         E                              Esus4  E
When the cynics stare back from the wall

B
 I know it's time to change

      C#m                B
I was so confused by the promises

        E                   A
And the hardest thing is to walk

            G#
Towards the things you need

         C#m        A
When the things you want

         E              A
Are like vision for the blind

      E                                       Esus4  E
And I know you don't believe in a single thing

         B
That you can't touch, smell, or feel

                 C#m                        B
Hey, it's been a week of woe, which way you gonna go?

            E                     A
When your desire has but all run aground

                E                          B
'Cause when the cynics stare back from the wall

                 A              E
You'd better not fall, la-la-la-la-la-la

                 F#m            E
You'd better not fall, la-la-la-la-la-la

                 A              E
You'd better not fall, la-la-la-la-la-la

                 F#m            F#m    E
You'd better not fall
