The State I Am In

Belle And Sebastian

Text File

(Capo 4 space) A G D G A G I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975 F#m Em D G A G I was puzzled by a dream, stayed with me all day in 1995 F#m Em D My brother had confessed he was gay G A G It took the heat off me for a while F#m Em He stood up with a sailor friend D G A G (F#m - Em - A) Made it known upon my sisters wedding day A G D G I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported A G Now she's in love F#m Em D G I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches A G From my crippled friend F#m Em D G She was not impressed that I cured her on the Sabbath A G So I went to confess D D/B D/F# D/G When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride A G To whisky and gin The priest in the booth had a photographic memory For all he had heard He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called "The State I Am In" So I gave myself to God There was a pregnant pause before he said ok Now I spend my day turning tables round In Marks & Spencer's They don't seem to mind D I gave myself to sin F#m I gave myself to Providence C And I've been there and back again Em The state that I am in Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me I am stupid and blind Desperation is the Devil's work, it is the folly of a boys empty mind Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad Lead me to a living end I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend My crippled friend David Barra.
