Your Cover's Blown Chords by Belle and Sebastian

[Start]

[Intro]
N.C.                        
So how do we know each other
N.C.                         
And how do you have my number
N.C.                       
Well why don't you guide me
                  Db7
You be the driver ■  


[Verse]
                      Db7                    
Say what you want and leave your shyness home
    Db7                                                
And you should do what you want and write a little poem
                     Db7             
Leave it for her and live another day
C7                                                     
And you should leave it for her the girl around the way
E Gbm7 E Gbm7 E
■ ■    ■ ■    ■
                     E                  
Write down a list of things you wanna do
                                                       Gb7   
And then you leave it in work because you wanna live a little
                    C7                     
Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed Mini
                                       A    
Take her to dinner use her boyfriend's money


[Chorus]
         Db                
Hey lady put the phone down
Gbm                   D                           
Cancel all operations tell your friends to cool it
A                    Db7                
Your cover's blown I wanna see you alone
Gbm                   D

[Verse]
                    Db7                
Planning a freak is such a tricky thing
Db7                                                      
Because you move through the country she comes back again
    Db7                                               
And then you move through the city but she goes abroad
                             Db7                 
Is she telling you something is she getting bored
Gbm7 Dbm7 Gbm7 E Gbm7 Dbm7 Gbm7

                             Dbm7            
I make a rough plan to sleep around a minaret
Gb7                        Dbm7     Gbm7     
I need a change I'm a lazy rat if I am honest
Dbm7                            E             Gbm7      
But my bold change of tact will fade out with the summer
            E            Gbm                      
I've got no appetite and all the girls are bummers


[Chorus]
Gb7 Em         G                      Em7 A                 
■   ■  My baby doesn't look at me the way I want her to look
B7          Gb7        A
She doesn't comprehend ■
Em        G              
My baby's got it going on
            A                         Gbm       G
She's got a friend in every street in this town ■
                                    E   
I want to go out but there's nobody home
              A7 
I'll go on my own


[Verse]
A Am7             A7     A      
■ Thus starts the lonely walking
A7      D                      
There's always too much talking
  E     E7                 Am  
I ■ I I should have stayed home
    Am                       
She starts her cold caressing
D                  E         
The kid she starts undressing
                  Am          E
I I I should have stayed home ■


[Chorus]
Am                  D       
■  The DJ's picking up speed
D7               D                
That's something I just don't need
E   E7                   Am  
I I I should have stayed home
             A7           D    
The gossip's bearing down on me
                           E7    E    
The kids are pairing up in front of me
         Am              
I should have stayed home
E               Am          E
■ I should have stayed home ■
                Am  
I think I'll go home

■ Hey lady meet my mom and dad
         Em                        C                    
You're a strange operation in this land of potted plants
    G                         B          Em    
And funslide houses where the girls like mouses
                       C          
Breathe a long sigh of resignation
                       G              
You resign yourself to keep on growing
         B            B7    
Like the seeds you're sowing
      Em                        C                      
For a strange operation in this land of grammar schools
    G                        B7            
And galloped days the lady's set in her way
         Em                       C              
Behind a long conversation from a kid named Stole
G                              B      B7 Em   
He's a little slow but in your favour it shows
                                C                          Em    
Cancel all operations tell your friends to move out to the sticks


[Outro]
                      Ebm B       
Listen lady leave the ■   boy home
C                               Am                          Em       
Cancel all operations tell your friends there's more to you than this
