Verse 1:

C#m

You take your white finger,

slide the nail under

C#m

the top and bottom buttons of

my blazer,

relax the fraying wool,

slacken ties and I'm

not to look at you in the shoe,
*B
but the eyes.

*
find the eyes

Chorus:

So find me and follow me

through corridors, refectories

and files you must follow, leave this academic factory

you will find me in the matinee,

the dark of the matinee is mine.

its better in the matinee,

the dark of the matinee is mine

yes its mine

Riff

Verse 2: same as 1
I time every journey
to bump into you
acidently I
charm you and tell you
of the boys i hate
all the girls i hate
all the words i hate
all the clothes i hate
how I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like,
how you'd have a happy life
if you did the things you like.

Chorus

Middle:

C#m

So I'm on BBC2 now,

telling Terry Wogan how I made it.

C#m

What I made is unclear,

but his deference is and his laughter is.

My words and smile are so easy now.
*Bm
Yes, It's easy now.

*
Yes its easy now

Chorus x2
