  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
[Chorus]
A                           [ Bm7 ]
   I could leave you, say goodbye

Bm7                          E7sus4      E7
   Or I could love you, if I try - and I could

    C6               Bm7               A
And left to my own devices, I probably would
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
A                           [ Bm7 ]
   I could leave you, say goodbye

Bm7                          E7sus4      E7
   Or I could love you, if I try - and I could

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

C6               Bm7              [ F ]
Left to my own devices, I probably would
[Interlude] | F G | Am |
      |  F  G  | Am |
(Oh, I would)

      F#m7
I was faced with a choice at a difficult age

        Fmaj7
Would I write a book, or should I take to the stage?

           Dsus2
But in the back of my head I heard distant feet

    G                                   | G | % |
Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat
[Verse]
           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
[Chorus]
A                           [ Bm7 ]
   I could leave you, say goodbye

Bm7                          E7sus4      E7
   Or I could love you, if I try - and I could

    C6               Bm7             [ A ]
And left to my own devices, I probably would
[Chorus]
A                       [ Bm7 ]
   Come on, baby, say goodbye

Bm7                          E7sus4      E7
   Or I could love you, if I try - and I could

Left to my own devices, I probably would (Come on, baby)

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