Am Dm
(repeat)
[Verse] :
Am
I get out of bed at half past ten
Am
Phone up a friend, who's a party animal
Dm
Turn on the news and drink some tea
Dm
Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping
Am
One day I'll read, or learn to drive a car
Am
If you pass the test, you can beat the rest
Dm
But I don't like to compete, or talk street, street, street
Dm
I can pick up the best from the party animal
[Chorus] :
A Bm7
I could leave you, say goodbye
E
Or I could love you, if I try
E
And I could
C6 Bm7 A
And left to my own devices, I probably would
C6 Bm7 A
Left to my own devices, I probably would
[Verse]:
Am
Pick up a brochure about the sun
Am
Learn to ignore what the photographer saw
Dm
I was always told that you should join a club
Dm
Stick with the gang, if you want to belong
Am
I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy
Am
In a world of my own at the back of the garden
Dm
I didn't want to compete, or play out on the street
Dm
For in a secret life I was a round head general
[Chorus] :
A Bm7
I could leave you, say goodbye
E
Or I could love you, if I try
E
And I could
C6 Bm7 A
And left to my own devices, I probably would
C6 Bm7 F G Am
Left to my own devices, I probably would
F G Am
Oh, I would
F G Am x2
[Bridge] :
F#m
I was faced with a choice at a difficult age
Fmaj9
Would I write a book? Or should I take to the stage?
Dmadd9
But in the back of my head I heard distant feet
G
Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat
[Verse] :
Am
It's not a crime when you look the way you do
Am
The way I like to picture you
Dm
When I get home, it's late at night
Dm
I pour a drink and watch the fight
Am
Turn off the TV, look at a book
Am
Pick up the phone, fix some food
Dm
Maybe I'll sit up all night and day
Dm
Waiting for the minute I hear you say
[Chorus] :
A Bm7
I could leave you, say goodbye
E
Or I could love you, if I try
E
And I could
C6 Bm7 A
And left to my own devices, I probably would
Bm7
Come on, baby, say goodbye
E
I could love you, if I try
E
And I could
C6 Bm7 A
And left to my own devices, I probably would
C6 Bm7 A
Left to my own devices, I probably would
Come on, baby,
C6 Bm7 A
Left to my own devices, I probably would
C6 Bm7 A
A
