AmDm (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] : 
ABm7 I could leave you, say goodbye
E Or I could love you, if I try
E And I could
C6Bm7A And left to my own devices, I probably would
C6Bm7A 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] : 
ABm7 I could leave you, say goodbye
E Or I could love you, if I try
E And I could
C6Bm7A And left to my own devices, I probably would
C6Bm7FGAm Left to my own devices, I probably would
FGAm 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] : 
ABm7 I could leave you, say goodbye
E Or I could love you, if I try
E And I could
C6Bm7A 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
C6Bm7A And left to my own devices, I probably would
C6Bm7A Left to my own devices, I probably would
Come on, baby, 
C6Bm7A Left to my own devices, I probably would
C6 Bm7 AA
