[F]La la la la   [Fm]  La la la la
[C]Mickey wishes he [Em]was dead, draws the sheet across h[Bb]is head
[Fm]Never felt so alive

[Fm]Was it all worthwhil[G]e?
Must have been fu[Bb]nny, must have been di[A]m - cut it up and le[D]t it all in
Must have been f[D]unny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in
Don't wa[Bb]nt you to g[D]o, just[Bb] need you to k[A]now
[C]Can't leave the house: he wou[Em]ldn't dare, hang this guilty frame[Bb] with stares
[Fm]Naked in a fray
[C]I'll be the shortest per[Em]son there, oh god I'm losing all my[Bb] hair
[Fm]It won't suit my sty[G]le
[Bb]Must have been funn[A]y, must have been di[D]m - cut it up and let it all in
I don't [Bb]want you to g[D]o, I just ne[Bb]ed you to k[A]now

And if he reaches for[Em] the door, be sure he'll touch the[Bb] wood and pause
[Fm]Ask me back for more
[C]We'll still shove us down [Em]the stairs, still get in [Bb]each other's hair
[Fm]If there's any left [G]then
[Bb]Must have been funny, must h[A]ave been dim - cut it up and le[D]t it all in

Infantile by Suzy and Steve
[E]
[B]   But she only came to[E] gloat
It stuck right there in my[Abm] throat
How she loved to turn the s[G]crew
And leave you feel inde[D]bted to her fantasies and v[B]iews
So surprised you saw it thr[E]ough
Couldn't help but noti[Abm]ce
You'd covered all means of e[G]scape
Found the other people's part[D]ies second[B] rate
[C#m]It ain't easy           It ain[C]'t easy           It[F#] ain't easy [B]
Reduced a listener to a tea[E]r
Forgetting what had brought him [Abm]here
Undoing everything he'd [G]known
Left him wake up i[D]n the mornin[B]g on his own
It's how you leave no tim[E]e to breathe
It's how you lea[Abm]ve no time to breathe
All is not all that [Abm]it seems
Thought the rest was j[G]ust a breeze
Till you remind me of m[D]y inadequacies[B]
[C#m]It ain't easy          [C] It ain't easy       [F#]    It ain't easy
[C#m]It ain't easy          [C] It ain't easy       [F#]    It ain't easy
[E]It's infant[Abm]ile, it's in your s[G]mile, here's my [D]sign you'll soon be min[E]e
         [Abm]                 [G]                [D]                     [E]

It's infantile, it's in your smile, here's my sign you'll soon be mine
[Abm]It's [G]inf[D]antile, it's in your smile, here's my sign you'll soon be mine
[Abm]La la[G] la[D] la la .... [to fade]

This Boy Can't Swim-Catatonia
[A]This boy can't swim,[Eb] he's wear[B]ing too many [F#]skins
[A]I hope he sinks[Eb], then he'll f[B]orget everythin[F#]g      [F]         [F#]            [F]
[F#]Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together
[B]Then realised those he [Bm]lied to were cleverer
[F#]Left on the side they have long since you joined him
[B]Back in the fold thick as [Bm]thieves they will weigh him [F#]down
[C#]\[A]   (slides down to [A] from [C#])
2nd verse (chords as above)
This boy can't swim he's carrying too many sins
I hope he sinks, till he forgets everything
2nd Chorus
'good as gold' alternates with 'thick as thieves'

[D]You should k[Em7]now by now[D] that the c[Em7]ommon thread is ta[A]ut
