A great song, by a really under-rated artist.

Real Late Starter - Nerina Pallot
 
BmI (x24432@1)woke up late today
EActually (022100@1)I do that everyday
AmGot (x02210@1)no place to be seen

I'm not part of a scene
GI'm (320003@1)a genius loser
                                         BmKeeping (x24432@1)counsel with my own opinion
                           EPresident (022100@1)of the state that I'm in
               AmShould (x02210@1)I just stay in bed?
  
Should I live in my head?
     GOh (320003@1)God so many questions to ask

Oh you could call me lazy
I think of it as taking my time
'Cos I don't want to do what I don't want to do
I'm the queen refusenik

[CHORUS]
         Bm (x24432@1)                                                         EBut (022100@1)- oh my God - if I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine
               C (x32010@1)           GBut (320003@1)I'm a real late starter
            D (xx0232@1)                       ASo (x02220@1)I'm making up for lost time
Bm (x24432@1)                                                              EOh (022100@1)my God - if I was somebody you'd be kissing my arse right now
            C (x32010@1)      G (320003@1)                D (xx0232@1)         ABut (x02220@1)I'm so polite - I do it all of the time
                   C (x32010@1)          GI (320003@1)missed my calling in life
BmOh (x24432@1)well.

Day by day I wonder
If I will be torn asunder
By these things that I know that nobody else knows
Or maybe it's the drinking
I guess we should consult a Bible
Everybody needs a sign - or
Bless the birds and the bees
The flowers and trees
And blessed be the slacker

[CHORUS]
But - oh my God - if I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for lost time
Oh my God - if I was somebody you'd be kissing my arse right now
But I'm so polite - I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life
       E (022100@1)                             GAnd (320003@1)you must be having a laugh
 E (022100@1)                                  GOh (320003@1)God - you're having a laugh
D (xx0232@1)               Am (x02210@1)           GNo (320003@1)point in worrying if my day?s a disaster
D (xx0232@1)             Am (x02210@1)                GInside (320003@1)my little head I'm happy ever after
         F#Yes (244322@1)I am

[CHORUS]
Oh my God - if I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for lost time
Oh my God - if I was somebody you'd be kissing my arse right now
But I'm so polite
I missed my calling in life

[CHORUS]
Oh my God - if I was somebody I'd be doing it all just fine
But I'm a real late starter
So I'm making up for lost time
Oh my God - if I was somebody you'd be kissing my arse right now
But I'm so polite - I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oooh - what of my life?
Yeah well.
