Pet Shop Boys – Left To My Own Devices (Guitar Intro)

Am  Dm 
(repeat)

Am
I get out of bed at half past ten

Am
Phone up a friend, who's a party animal

Dm
Turn on the news and drink some tea

Dm
Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping

Am
One day I'll read, or learn to drive a car

Am
If you pass the test, you can beat the rest

Dm
But I don't like to compete, or talk street, street, street

Dm
I can pick up the best from the party animal

A                          Bm7
I could leave you, say goodbye

                           Esus4
Or I could love you, if I try

        E7
And I could

     C6               Bm7                A
And left to my own devices, I probably would

C6               Bm7                A
Left to my own devices, I probably would

Am
Pick up a brochure about the sun

Am
Learn to ignore what the photographer saw

Dm
I was always told that you should join a club

Dm
Stick with the gang, if you want to belong

Am
I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy

Am
In a world of my own at the back of the garden

Dm
I didn't want to compete, or play out on the street

Dm
For in a secret life I was a round head general

A                            Bm7
I could leave you, say goodbye

                          Esus4
Or I could love you, if I try

        E7
And I could

    C6                Bm7                A
And left to my own devices, I probably would

C6                Bm7               F    G   Am
Left to my own devices, I probably would

         F    G  Am
Oh, I would

       F#m
I was faced with a choice at a difficult age

          Fmaj9
Would I write a book? Or should I take to the stage?

           Dmadd9
But in the back of my head I heard distant feet

G
Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat

Am
It's not a crime when you look the way you do

Am
The way I like to picture you

Dm
When I get home, it's late at night

Dm
I pour a drink and watch the fight

Am
Turn off the TV, look at a book

Am
Pick up the phone, fix some food

Dm
Maybe I'll sit up all night and day

Dm
Waiting for the minute I hear you say

A                          Bm7
I could leave you, say goodbye

                           Esus4
Or I could love you, if I try

       E7
And I could

     C6               Bm7               A
And left to my own devices, I probably would

                      Bm7
Come on, baby, say goodbye

                       Esus4
I could love you, if I try

       E7
And I could

    C6               Bm7                A
And left to my own devices, I probably would

C6                 Bm7                A
Left to my own devices, I probably would

C6                Bm7                A
Left to my own devices, I probably would
