Album: THE AGE OF THE UNDERSTATEMENT Bm 224432 A 577655 or x02220 D 557775 or x00232 G 355433 or 320033 F# 244322 [Intro] Bm - A - D - G - F# x2 Bm [Verse]
Bm
Decided 
To sneak up away from your stomach And try your pulse
    Bm
And captured 
What seemed all unknowing and candid
             D             F#
But they suspected it was false 
Bm
Bm
She's playful 
The boring would warn you be careful Of her brigade In order to tame this relentless marauder
      D              F#
Move away from the parade 
[Bridge 1]
            A              G             Bm
And she was walking on the tables in the glass house 

   A           G              Bm
Endearingly bedraggled in the wind 

A             G            Bm
Subtle in her method of seduction 

     D                        F#
The twenty little tragedies begin 
Bm
              A               G          Bm
And she would throw a feather boa in the road 

        A                    G       Bm
If she thought that it would set the scene 

  A          G                  G
Unfittingly dipped into your companions 

  D                        F#
Enlighten them to make you see 
[Chorus]
            Bm           A        D
And there's affection to rent 

     G          F#
The age of the understatement 

           Bm             A      D
Before the attraction ferments 

F#
Kiss me properly and pull me apart 

  Bm          A        D
Affection to rent 

     G          F#
The age of the understatement 

           Bm             A      D
Before the attraction ferments 

F#
Kiss me properly and pull me apart 
[Bridge 2]
G - F# - F# - Bm
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh      x2

        G                    F#
And my fingers scratch at my hair 

   F#                       Bm
Before my mind can get too reckless 

      G             F#
The idea of seeing you here 

     F#                          Bm
Is enough to make the sweat grow cold 

G - F# - F# - Bm
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh      x2
[Outro] Bm for a few bars and then... Bm - A - D - G - F# [Ending] F#
