'Leave This Island' by Maximo Park (www.maximopark.com) Tabbed by: Rob Leyland Intro: Am Am Bm-C C G G F D Am
Am                     C   
Have you ever been compelled

         G
Under a spell

           F                              Am
From a protagonist who knows you far too well

Am                    C
Have you ever been undone

                  D
By a slip of the tongue

     F                                     Am
and betrayed a side of you that felt hard won

                       C
So we watch the water swell

                 D
From a Scottish hotel

               Bm
Have you ever fell?
Have you ever fell?
C 
Are you gonna tell me why

           Em
There's a backpack by the bedroom window

D
It's a pack of lies

Bm
Everything has to reach a peak sometime

C
Tell me why

          Em
There's a map lain flat on the bedside table

D
It's a pack of lies

Bm
It's not a peak, it's a plateau

Em
Let me know

C
When you wanna leave this island

D
Let me know

G               D                Am
When you wanna hear my point of view
C C G G F F C
Am                   C
In the observation lounge

                   D
Couples ready to pounce

               F                            Am
But there's a reticence from treading icy ground

Am                      C
So we watch the water swell

                 D
From a Scottish hotel

               Bm
Have you ever fell?
Have you ever fell?
C 
Are you gonna tell me why

           Em
There's a backpack by the bedroom window

It's a pack of lies

Em               C
I will act as a semaphore
