[Dm]
[Am] I get out of bed at half past ten, phone up a friend who's party animal, [Dm] drink some tea,
maybe a floor with me, maybe do some shopping.
[Am] One day I'll leave or learn to drive a car.
If you pass the test you can do the rest, but [Dm] I don't like to compete or talk street street street.
I can pick up the best from the party animal.
[A] I could leave you, [Bm] say goodbye, or I could love you if [E] I tried, and I could.
[Am] And left in my own [Bm] devices I [A] probably would.
[Am] Pick up the brochure, found the sun, learned to ignore what the photographer saw.
I was always [Dm] told that you should join a club, stick with the gang if you want to belong.
I [Am] was a lonely boy who spent his joy in a world of my own at the back of the garden.
I didn't want to [Dm] compete or play out on the street or learn a secret life.
I was a ranted general.
[A] I could leave you, say [Bm] goodbye, or I could love you if [E] I tried, and I could.
[Am] And left in my own [D] devices I [A] probably would.

I [F#m] was faced with a choice at a difficult age.
[F] Would I write a book or should I take to the stage?
But in the back of my head I heard [Dm] distant feet.
[G] Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco [A#m] beat.
[F]
It's [Em] not a crime what you look, [C] the way you do, the way I like [Am] to picture you.
[Dm] When I get home, it's late at night, I pour a drink, wash the pints, [Am] turn off the TV,
look at a book, pick up the phone, pick some food.
[Dm] Maybe I'll sit up all night and day, waiting for the minute I hear you say.

I could leave you, say [D] goodbye, or I could love you [E] if I tried, and I could.

Come on baby, say [Bm] goodbye, or I could love you if [E] I tried, and I could.
[Am] And left in my own [D] devices I probably [A] would.
