Nerina Pallot – Watch Out Billie (Guitar)

B         Bbm           F#           
And my confession would have you on the floor

         G#
- if you knew the truth

               B        Bbm
But that's the way they want you -

F#                          G#
Everyone's a sucker for the haze of youth

          B           Bbm   F#                            G#
We're all prairie children, brought up on the lies of the past

        B        Bbm            F#            A     B
So it's no surprise then - you will have to ask....

C#                         F#
Watch out Billie 'fore you go to fast

           D#m                        G#
You say it couldn't hurt, but then it couldn't last

        C#                            F#
You get fifteen minutes while they're watching you

           D#m                            G#
You better hold your breath and hope your dreams come true.

C#                          F#
Watch out girl you'll never be the same

          D#m                   G#
If it's a cruel world you gotta play the game

        C#                         F#
You get fifteen minutes while they know your face

             D#m                     G#
You'd better pray to God you win the human race.

B            Bbm      F#                          G#
I'm like the weather, burning up to fire, burning up to ice.

        B       Bbm         F#                             G#
But i'm deathly certain the little things we love shouldn't be denied

       B                  Bbm 
We get fed something, but we don't want it,

         F#               G#
We won't live our life with lies

             B                       Bbm
You want your own heaven that you'll make better,

F#                 A   B     A   B 
You just want your own life. Own life.

C#                         F#
