[Verse 1]
[Em]"So how do we know each other?
And how do you have
[Bm]my number?[Em]
Well why don't you guide me
You be the driver"

[Verse 2]
[Em]Say what you w[A]ant and [Em]leave
your shyness home
And you should do what you [A]want
and write [Em]a little poem
Leave it for [A]her and [Em]live another day
And you should leave it for [A]her,
the [Em]girl around the way

[Verse 5]
[Em]Planning [A]a freak is [Bm]such [B]a
trick[Em]y thing
Because you move [A]through the country,
she [D]comes back [Em]again
And [A]then you [Em]move through [A]the city,
[Em]but she goes abroad
Is she telling [A]you something,
[Bb]is she [D]gettin[Em]g bored?
[A][Em][A]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
I make a rough plan [A]to sleep
around a min[Em]aret
I need a change,
I'm [A]a lazy rat if [Em]I am honest
But my bold change of [A]tact will fade
[Em]out with the summer
I've got no appet[A]ite and all
[Em]the girls are bummers

[Verse 7]
[Dm]
My baby [Gm]doesn't [F]look at me
the [Dm]way I [G]want her to look
She [A]doesn't com[Em]prehend[G][Dm]
My baby's got it [F]going on
She's got a [G]friend in every
street [Dm]in th[Em]is town
[F]I want

[Verse 8]
to go out but [Gm]there's
[F]nobody [D]home-
I'll go on my [G]own[Gm]

[Verse 9]
Thus starts the [Gm]lonely [Cm]walking
There's always too much talking
[D]I, I, I should have stayed [Gm]home
She starts her cold [Cm]caressing
The kid she starts un[C]dressing
[D]I, I, I should have stayed [Gm]home[D][Gm]
The [G]DJ's picking [Gm]up sp[Cm]eed
That's something I just don't need
[D]I, I, I should have stayed [Gm]home
The gossip's bearing down [G]on [Cm]me
The kids are pairing up in [D]front of me
I should have stayed [Gm]home[D]
I should have stayed [Gm]home[D]
I think I'll go [Gm]home

[Verse 12]
[A]mom and dad
You're [Dm]a strange operation in
this [Bb]land of potted plants
[F]And [C]fun[F]slidehouses whe[A]re
the girls like mouses
Breathe a [Dm]long sigh of resignation
[Bb]You resign yourself to keep [F]on growing
Like [A]the seeds you're sowing
For [Dm]a strange operation in [Bb]this
land of grammar schools
[Gm]And gall[F]oped days,
the lady's [A]set in her way
Behind [Dm]a long conversation
from a [Bb]kid named Stole
He's a [F]little slow but in
your [A]favour it shows
Cancel [Dm]all operations,
tell your [Bb]friends to move out to the sticks
[Dm]

[Verse 13]
Listen lady, leave [A]the boy home
Cancel [Bb]all operations,
[Gm]tell your friends there's more to you than this
