D * find the eyes Chorus: B So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories A and files you must follow, leave this academic factory B you will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee is mine. A its better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee is mine E yes 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 B So I'm on BBC2 now, A telling Terry Wogan how I made it. C#m B What I made is unclear, A but his deference is and his laughter is. A E My words and smile are so easy now. *Bm Yes, It's easy now. D * Yes its easy now Chorus x2 lyrics taken from http://www.franzferdinand.co.uk
