Nerina Pallot – The Girl From Lakeville (Guitar)

     A
The girl comes from Lakeville

     A
Her dad, he cuts hair

         C       G                  A
It's a small town in the middle of nowhere

   A
In tried and tested fashion

           A
She took a plane and headed west

       C         G            A
To a city of neuroses, to the one that I love best

        E                               D         A
Did you think I couldn't feel it from 5,000 miles away?

      E                                 D         A
That I wouldn't sense betrayal in the things you could not say?

         Dm                  G                       A
I may be ditzy, I know I'm uncool, but I'm not like you

A
Sierra bonita

A
That you'll never be

         C           G                A
And I figure for that, you'll always hate me

     A
But beauty is affliction

    A
It scars me from the rest

       C             G
I only wanted to be ordinary

         A
To be no more, to have no less

              E
But did you think you wouldn't think of me

         D                   A
When you moved your hand down there?

      E
That he wouldn't think it strange

           D                    A
To run his fingers through your hair?

         E
It's the one thing that you want

              D                  A
The thing you know you'll never have

              Dm
Three lonely people

                G
It's one sorry mess

A     D           G
Oh my girlfriend, girlfriend

  C
I dig the book you bought

A       D           G
Hey my girlfriend, girlfriend

   C
The record is cool

A     D           G
Oh my girlfriend, girlfriend

     C
You know you make me smile

A     D
Oh my girlfriend

G                 C             A
I thought we'd be friends for a while

   G
I thought that we'd be

D               G        A
I thought we'd be friends, girl

           G        D
What'd you do it for? Hey

G                 A    A7
What'd you do it for, yeah

D         G
Oh, you can't wait

D                     G         A7
What'd you do it for, why'd you make me

A7 G
Cry

D7 G                      A
Cry, old books and records, clothes

                G
These things on my mind, hey

D                       G      A
Think of him, think of you, sometimes

                     G                D
Girl from Lakeville, what'd you do it for?

                                       G
What'd you do it for, what'd you do it for?

A      G                     D           G A
Oh my girlfriend, what'd you do it for?

           G
What'd you do it for girl? Think about it

     A                      G     A
Sometimes it cross my mind, uh-uh yeah yeah

                            G
Don't wanna think about it, don't wanna think about it

      A7
