INTRO G VERSE 1

G
You're not as messed up as you think you are

Your 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 is

Just 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

                                   G
Get up and get down and get outside

VERSE 3

G
He's not as clever as he likes to think

He'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 out

I'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

Repeat the CHORUS ^ 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 saying that 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 rhtyhm)

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

                                   G
Get up and get down and get outside

OUTRO (no guitar) 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
