'Stay Loose' by BELLE AND SEBASTIAN Tabbed by ricky99@gmx.net Enjoy!! Cm Bb I was choking on a cornflake Gm Ab You said “Have some toast instead” Cm Bb I was sleeping maybe three hours Gm Ab You said “You should get to bed” Cm Bb I was waiting at the church door\ Gm Ab For the minister to show Cm Bb I was looking at the new year Gm Ab Gm Fm You said “Walk before you crawl” Cm Bb I was feeling like a loser Gm Ab You said “Hey, you’ve still got me” Cm Bb I was feeling pretty lonely Gm Ab You said “You wanted to be free” Cm Bb I was looking for a good time Gm Ab You said “Let the good times start” Cm Bb With a quiver of your eyelid Gm Ab You took on someone else’s part Eb But what about me Ab Eb I don’t really see Ab Eb How things will improve Ab If all you want is to stay Cm Bb Maybe I’m a little greedy Gm Ab You said “Think before you speak” Cm Bb Sometimes I’m a little seedy Gm Ab You said “Everyone is weak” Cm Bb Now I feel a little better Gm Ab Is there something I can do? Cm Bb But I never heard the answer Gm Ab I never had a clue Eb But what about me Ab Eb I don’t really see Ab Eb How things will improve Ab If all you want is to stay Fm The lights are out Gm In the house tonight Ab And I creep around Eb Bb And I’m creeping to your head Ab Cm All you wanted to stay loose. Cm Bb There’s a little echo calling Gm Ab Like a miner trapped inside Cm Bb If I tell her of this moment Gm Ab She will in me doubts confide Cm Bb And she’s on me like a blanket Gm Ab Like a stalk of wilting grass Cm Bb I’m not sure about her motives Gm Ab Gm Fm I’m not sure about her past Cm Bb But my faith is like a bullet Gm Ab My belief is like a bolt Cm Bb The only thing that lets me sleep at night Gm Ab A little carriage of the soul Cm Bb If it starts a little bleaker Gm Ab Then the year may yet be gold Cm Bb Happiness is not for keeping Gm Ab Happiness is not my goal Eb So what about me Ab Eb I don’t really see Ab Eb How things will improve Ab Eb If all you want is to stay loose Ab Eb But what about them Ab Eb You play mother hen Ab Eb To a gaggle of gangling youth Ab If all you want is to stay Fm The lights are out Gm In the house tonight Ab And I creep around Eb Bb And I’m creeping to your head Ab All you wanted to stay Cm Gm I was living through the second Ab Eb My composure was a mess Fm Cm I was miles from tenderness Ab Ab Gm Bb It was dark outside, the day it was lying in pieces Cm Gm Everything is flat and dreary Ab Eb I couldn’t care what’s in the news Fm Cm Television is the blues Ab Ab Gm Bb Television is hysterical laughter of people Ab Bb And I know it could be me Cm Bb Ab Gm I’m always asking for more, more, more, more Ab Eb I keep running round in circles Ab Eb I keep looking for a doorway Ab I’m going to need two lives Ab Gm Bb To follow the paths I’ve been taking
