After seeing Frank play this live I realised that although notewise the other chords up
here may be correct, he in fact plays the song with a capo meaning that to play it how it
was written you would need to be playing different chords relative to the capo.
(If you get what I mean... probably not)
Capo on 2nd
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
You're not as messed up as you think you areYour self-absorption makes you messier
Em Just settle down and you will feel a whole lot better C D G Deep down you're just like everybody else
[Verse 2]
G
She's not as pretty as she thinks she isJust picture her after she's had kids
Em I bet she sits at home and listens to The Smiths C D G Deep down she's just like everybody else
[Chorus]
Am D So why are you sat at home? G You're not designed to be alone Em You just got used to saying "no"
So get up and get down and get outside
Am D Cos it's a lovely sunny day G But you hide yourself away Em You've only got yourself to blame C D G Get up and get down and get outside
[Verse 3]
G
He's not as clever as he likes to thinkHe's just ambitious with his arguing
Em He's crap at dancing, yeah and he can't hold his drink C D G Deep down he's just like everybody else
[Verse 4]
G
I'm not as awesome as this song makes outI'm angry, underweight and sketching out
Em I'm building bonfires on my vanities and doubts C D G To get warm just like everybody else
[Chorus]
Am D So why are you sat at home? G You're not designed to be alone Em You just got used to saying "no"
So get up and get down and get outside
Am D Cos it's a lovely sunny day G But you hide yourself away Em You've only got yourself to blame C D G Get up and get down and get outside
[Middle 8]
D F Amy thinks that life is lacking in drama C So she fell for horoscopes, faith-healing and karma Am She's so wrapped up in her invisible armour D She'll never grow into herself F And it's OK thinking me and all my friends are just wasters C But all the same, I can still see through her heirs and graces Am I bet she's scared her life won't leave any traces D Caught up like everyone else
[Bridge]
C That's not the point anyway D C Oh darling, I felt compelled to call you up to say...
[Chorus]
(let first Am ring, then come in on the D with intro rhythm)
Am D So why are you sat at home? G You're not designed to be alone Em You just got used to saying "no"
So get up and get down and get outside
Am D Cos it's a lovely sunny day G But you hide yourself away Em You've only got yourself to blame C D G Get up and get down and get outside
[Outro]
N.C.
Get up and get down and get outside
Get up and get down and get outside
C D Get up and get down and get outside Em A7 Get up and get down and get outside C D Bb G Get up and get down and get outside
