Album: UNDER THE IRON SEA

STANDARD TUNING - NO CAPO

INTRO: Am - C - D - F  x2

VERSE:
    C           G7
You must think I'm a fool
G               F           C
So prosaic and awkward and all
       C           G7
D'you think you've got me down?
       G                        F       C
D'you think I've never been out of this town?

PRECHORUS 1:
   Em7         Fmaj7    Am       G
Do I seem too eager to please to you now?
          F           C
You don't know me at all
   Em7          Fmaj7        Am       G
I can't turn it on, turn it off like you now
        F        C
I'm not like you now

VERSE 2:
G7
Now that you're here
  G                             F   C
I bet you're wishing you could disappear
     C     G7
I'm trying to be kind
  G                            F       C
I get the feeling you're just killing time

PRECHORUS 2:
     Em7         Fmaj7
You look down on me
          Am           G
Don't you look down on me now
          F           C
You don't know me at all
   Em7        Fmaj7
A slap in the face
        Am       G
In the face for you now
           F
Just might do now

CHORUS 1:
        G      Am  Dm7
You're leaving so soon
      F                G
Never had a chance to bloom
         Am      Dm7
But you were so quick
    F           G
To change your tune
      Am     Dm7
Don't look back
         F                  G
If I'm a weight around your neck
           Am         Dm7
Cos if you don't need me
   F         Am
I don't need you

Am - C - D - F  x3

BRIDGE:
Dm      G  C    F     G    Em   F
Leaving so soooooon, sooooooon
Dm       G       C   F    G    Em   F
Leaving, leaving sooooo, soooooooon

CHORUS 2:
        G      Am  Dm7
You're leaving so soon
      F                G
Never had a chance to bloom
         Am      Dm7
But you were so quick
    F           G
To change your tune
      Am     Dm7
Don't look back
         F                  G
If I'm a weight around your neck
           Am         Dm7
Cos if you don't need me
   F         (Am)
I don't need you
