Sleep The Clock Around Chords

(ver. 3)
Belle And Sebastian
Standard Tuning
CAPO 4

Intro x4
C G Am F

Verse 1
        C
And the moment will come when composure returns
      G
Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall
        Am
And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air
         F
Down the Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade
          C
Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way
        G
And for once in your life you've got nothing to say
          Am
And could this be the time when somebody will come
         F
To say, "Look at yourself, you're not much use to anyone"

Interlude
C G Am F

Verse 2

       C
Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill
         G
Read the letter you got from the memory girl
       Am
But it takes more than this to make sense of the day
         F
Yeah, it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste
        C
And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that
             G
And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag
       Am
Of the United States of Calamity, hey!
      F
After all that you've done, boy, I know you're going to pay 

Interlude
C G Am F  x2

Verse 3
       C
In the morning you come to the ladies salon
       G
To get all fitted out for The Paperback Throne
        Am
But the people are living far away from the place
          F
Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste
        C
And the puzzle will last until somebody will say
           G
"There's a lot to be done while your head is still young"
       Am
If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind
         F
Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine

Intrumental x4 
C G Am F 

        
Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid
     
Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came
         
Then you go to the place where you've finally found
                                          C
You can look at yourself, sleep the clock around 

Outro

       sleep the clock around 
C G Am F
       sleep the clock around 
C G Am F
