Belle And Sebastian - Act Of The Apostle Chords

The notes in brackets are just notes, not chords.  The G chord 
before [F#-F-E D-E-D] is played very briefly before the notes come in.
It probably doesn't really matter if you play the G at all, but I think it's there.
I think this sounds best with the recording if you barre G and Cm, and mute the E
string in the Cm, if you're playing guitar, that is...

She was late for class and she knew it

    G                Cm
The lesson today was Acts of Apostles
    F                      C
The crazy hippies, they’re running scared
    G                 Cm
She shut her eyes and imagined the desert
   F                      C
No cars, no mobiles, just sun and bread
A                  C                         G [F#-F-E D-E-D]
    What would she look like standing by the well?
A               C                     G [F#-F-E D-E-D]  
    More like a women and less like a girl

I wish that I could sing.  I’d stay in a melody
                                      Bb
I would float along in my everlasting song
                   Am [C-B C-B] D
What would I do to believe?”
