F#m7
"So how do we know each other, and how do you have my number?Well why don't you guide me? You be the driver."
[Verse 1]
F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 Say what you want and leave your shyness home C#m7 F#m7 And you should do what you want and write a little poem C#m7 F#m7 Leave it for her and live another day C#m7 F#m7 And you should leave it for her, the girl around the way
[Interlude]
F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m7
[Verse 2]
C#m7 F#m7 Write down a list of things you want to do C#m7 F#m7 And then you leave it in work because you want to live a little C#m7 F#m7 Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed Mini C#m7 F#m7 Take her to dinner, use her boyfriend's money
[Chorus]
A C# Hey lady, put the phone down F#m Cancel all operations D Tell your friends to cool it A C# Your cover's blown, I want to see you alone F#m Cancel all operations D Tell your friends to cool it A C# Your cover's blown
[Interlude]
F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m7
[Verse 3]
C#m7 F#m7 Ah, planning a break is such a tricky thing C#m7 F#m7 Because you move to the country, she comes back again C#m7 F#m7 And then you move to the city but she goes abroad C#m7 F#m7 Is she telling you something, is she getting bored?
[Interlude]
F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m7
[Verse 4]
C#m7 F#m7 I'll make a rough plan to sleep around, I'm in a rut C#m7 F#m7 I need a change, I'm a lazy rat if I am honest C#m7 F#m7 But my bold change of tack will fade out with the summer C#m7 F#m7 I've got no appetite and all the girls are bummers
[Bridge]
Em G My baby doesn't look at me A The way I want her to look Bm F#m A She doesn't "comprend" Em G My baby's got it going on A Bm F#m She's got a friend hid in every street in this town G Am G F E Am I want to go out but there's nobody home I'll go on my own
[Bridge 2]
Am Thus starts the lonely walking Dm E Am Amadd9 There's always too much talking I should have stayed home Am She starts her cool caressing Dm The kid, she starts undressing E Am G F E I should've stayed home Am The dj's picking up speed Dm That's something I just don't need E Am Amadd9 I should've stayed home Am The gossip's bearing down on me, Dm E The kids are pairing off in front of me. Am G F E I should've stayed home Am G F E I should've stayed home Am I think I'll go home
[Interlude]
Em G D
[Chorus]
Em Listen lady, put your phone down C Cancel all operations
Tell your friends to cool it.
G B Your cover's blown I need to see you alone Em Cancel all operations C Tell your friends to cool it G B Listen lady, leave your phone down Em Cancel all operations C Tell your friends to cool it G B Your cover's blown I need to see you alone Em Cancel all operations C Tell your friends to cool it G B Hey lady, meet my mum and dad Em You're a strange aberration C G In this land of potted plants and boxlike houses B Where the girls like mouses Em C Breathe a long sigh of resignation G You resign yourself to keep on growing B Like the seeds you're sowing Em C G You're a strange apparition in this land of grammar schools and gala days B The ladies set in their ways Em C You had a long conversation with a kid next door G He's a little slow B But in your favour, it shows Em Cancel all operations C Em Tell your friends to move out to the sticks
[Outro]
Em B/D# Listen lady, leave the boy home C Cancel all operations Am Em Tell your friends there's more to you than this
