Not so academic Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I'm a [C]rogue, saint and a scoundrel
I terminate at Bethnal [F]Green
I'd shake hands with the devil
To get [C]where I want [G]to be
[Am]Because I feel my soul[Dm]
[G]Swell through my bra[C]in
[E]And spit tears out my [Dm]eyes
[G]When I hit the refrain
[C]

[Verse 2]
And lately I just daydream
A social outcast in my [F]tower
If only all men had the courage
[C]They too could be [G]cowards[Am]
They could feel their [Dm]souls
[G]Swell through their bra[C]ins
[E]And spit tears out their eye[Dm]s
[G]Again and again
When they hit the refrain
But [C]mother [Fm]I'm not s[F]o academic
I'm [C]not so aca[G]demic [C]but[Fm]
[C]I l[F]ove[Bb][G][C]

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][G]

[Verse 3]
I'm a [C]rogue, saint and a scoundrel
I spend my days on the echoing [F]green
Come thunder frightening
Or dumb white lightning- [C]flooded[G]
[Am]
Couldashouldawouldofbeens
Out of [Dm]con t[G]rol
Out of syn[C]c[E]
Everywhere but the [Dm]bowl
[G]Everywhere but the kitchen sink
[C]Mother [Fm]I'm not s[F]o
aca[C]dem[G]ic
[C]Mother [Fm]I'm not s[F]o aca[Bb][G][C][Fm][F]
