Arctic Monkeys - Despair in the Departure Lounge


D                        F#m
he's pining for her in a people carrier
               Bm                                               A
there might be buildings and pretty things to see like that but architecture won't do
            D                                               F#m
although it might say a lot about the city or town, i don't care what they've got keep on turning them down
         Bm                                        A
it don't say the funny things she does, don't even try and cheer him up because it just won't happen

e--5-5-7-7--9--9
B--7-7-9-9-10-10 X3

             D                        F#m
he's got the feeling again, this time on the aeroplane
               Bm                                           A                                
there might be tellys on the back of the seats in front but rodney and del won't do
            D                                                           
although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains, laugh when he 
F#m
falls through the bar but you're feeling the same
        Bm                                          A
cos she isn't there to hold your hand, she won't be waiting for you when you land

                 Bm                G
it feels like she's just nowhere near
                Bm              G
you could well be out on your ear
                   Bm                       E
this thought comes closely followed by the fear
         G         F#m           A          D
and the thought of it makes you feel a bit ill


e--5-5-7-7--9--9
B--7-7-9-9-10-10 X3

D                          F#m                                       G
yesterday i saw a girl who looked like someone you might knock about with, 
            A
and almost shouted
           D                            F#m               
and then reality kicked in within us it seems as we become the winners
     G                               A
you lose a bit of summit, and half wonder if you won it at all

               Bm                   G
and don't say owt cos you've got no idea
Bm                        G
and she's still nowhere near
                      Bm                       E
and the thought comes closely followed by the fear
         G         F#m          A           D
and the thought of it makes you feel a bit ill

D                F#m                   Bm                   G     A  
despair in the departure lounge, it's one and they'll still be around at
Bm
three
   G                 A
no signal and low battery
            D
what's happened to me
