Your Cover's Blown

[F#m]Say what you want and leave your shyness home,
Do what you want and write a little poem.
Leave it for her and live another day,
And you should *leave* it for her the girl around the way.

[F#m]Write down a list of things you want to do,
Leave it in work because you want to live a little,
Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed mini,
Take her to dinner, use her boyfriend's money.

[A]Hey lady, put the [C#]phone down,
Cancel [F#m]all operations,
Tell your f[D]riends to cool it
Your [A]cover's blown I want to [C#]see you alone
Cancel [F#m]all operations
Tell your [D]friends to cool it,
Your [A]cover's blown   [C#]

[F#m]Planning a break is such a tricky thing
Because you move to the country, she comes back again
And then you move to the city but she goes abroad
Is she telling you something, is she getting bored?

[F#m]I'll make a rough plan to sleep around,
I'm in a rut I need a change,
I'm a lazy rat if I am honest
My bold change of tack will fade out with the summer I've got no appetite and all the
girls are bummers

[Em]My baby doesn't [G]look at me
The way I [A]want her to look
She doesn't [G]com[F#m]prend  [A]
[Em]My baby's got it [G]going on
She's got a [A]friend hid in every street in [G]this t[F#m]own
  [G]                          [C] [B] [Am] [Abm]
I want to g[Am]o out but there's nobody home I'll go on my own
[Am]Thus starts the lonely walking
[Dm]There's always too much talking [E]I should have stayed [Am]home
[Am]She starts her cool caressing
[Dm]The kid, she starts undressing
[E]I should've stayed [Am]hom[G]e [F]   [E]
[Am]The dj's picking up speed
[Dm]That's something I just don't need
[E]I should've stayed [Am]home
[Am]The gossip's bearing down on me,
[Dm]The kids are pairing off in f[E]ront of me.
I should've stayed h[Am]ome[G]  [F]    [E]
[E]I should've stayed h[Am]ome[G]  [F]    [E]
I think I'll go h[Am]ome

Hey lady, meet my mum and dad
You're a strange aberration
In this land of potted plants and boxlike houses
Where the girls like mouses
Breathe a long sigh of resignation
You resign your self to keep on growing
Like the seeds you're sowing
You're a strange apparition In this land of grammar schools and gala days
The ladies set in their ways
You had a long conversation With a kid next door
He's a little slow
But in your favour, it shows
Cancel all operations
Tell your friends to move out to the sticks.

[Em]Listen lady, leave the [B]boy home
Cancel [C]all operations
Tell your [B]friends there's more to you than [Em]this.
