                 Aslacken (x02220@1)ties and I'm
                   Enot (022100@1)to look at you in the shoe,

   BSo (x2444x@1)find me and follow me

through corridors, refectories 
    Aand (x02220@1)files you must follow, leave this academic factory 
         Byou (x2444x@1)will find me in the matinee,

the dark of the matinee is mine. 
    Aits (x02220@1)better in the matinee,

the dark of the matinee is mine
        Eyes (022100@1)its mine

Riff

Verse 2: same as 1
I time every journey
to bump into you
acidently I
charm you and tell you
of the boys i hate
all the girls i hate
all the words i hate
all the clothes i hate
how I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like, 
how you'd have a happy life 
if you did the things you like.

Chorus

Middle:
C#m (x13321@4)          BSo (x2444x@1)I'm on BBC2 now, 
Atelling (x02220@1)Terry Wogan how I made it. 
C#m (x13321@4)             BWhat (x2444x@1)I made is unclear, 
Abut (x02220@1)his deference is and his laughter is.
A (x02220@1)                             EMy (022100@1)words and smile are so easy now. 
    *Bm
Yes, It's easy now.
             D* (xx0232@1)Yes its easy now

Chorus x2
