Robyn Hitchcock – My Favourite Buildings (Guitar)

F#m7            B            E          C#m
My favourite buildings are all falling down

F#m7           B         E        C#m
Seems like I dwell in a different town

F#m7           B             E             G#7
But why should I bother with painting them brown

             C#m                      F#m7     F#m G#m F#m
When they'll all be pulled down in the end?

F#m7            B     E                    C#m
My favourite buildings stretch upwards for miles

F#m7           B         E        C#m
Remind me somehow of your favorite smiles

F#m7                B      E             G#7
Like oak leaves in autumn cascading on stiles

       C#m    
In the rain

G       Bm                Em
Nobody seems to know how long

               A         Am7
All of these buildings belong

            D             B
Till they become part of you

G           Bm           Em
People get down on your knees

               A         Am7
Buildings are like a disease

                D       B
You could wind up in a zoo

                 E     F#m G#m F#m
And most people do

F#m7            B           E          C#m
My favourite buildings are all laid to waste

F#m7                B         E        C#m
One might as well sculpt a statue from toothpaste

F#m7           B             E         G#7
And someday I could have a fifty inch waist

         C#m       
It's all free

       F#m7         B          E       F#m G#m F#m
For my favourite buildings and me
