Sylvia
(Jarvis Cocker, Nick Banks, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey, Mark Webber)

E
You look just like Sylvia
C#m
(Well, you look like her to me)
E                    Abm
The way she wore her hair then
A                           A
Oh, the way she used to be
F#m
I've not seen her for a long time
E                             C#m
Though I've heard she's still around
B
Her father's living with some girl
A
Who's a year younger than her

Abm                 A
She's living in the country now, yeah
Abm                     A
Oh, she's trying to get better
Abm                A
Her beauty was her only crime
        Bsus4        B
Yeah, I remember Sylvia

Chorus
E
So keep believing
    Ab          A
And do what you do
F#                     C#m             B         A
I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better
E
And please stop asking
          Ab             A
What it's got to do with you
F#                          C#m       B           A
Oh keep believing, 'cos you know that you deserve better

Who's this man you're talking to?
Can't you see what he wants to do?
He thinks if he stands near enough
Then he will look as good as you
And he don't care about your problems
He just wants to show his friends
I guess I'm just the same as him
Oh I just didnt know it then

I never understood you really
And I know it's too late now
You didnt ask to be that way
Oh I'm sorry Sylvia

So keep believing
And do what you do
I can't help you but I know things are gonna get better
And please stop asking
What it's got to do with you
Oh keep believing, 'cos you know that you deserve better
