[Verse]
  Am
I get out of bed at half past ten
Am
Phone up a friend, who's a party animal
Dm
Turn on the news and drink some tea
         Dm
Maybe if you're with me, we'll do some shopping
Am
One day I'll read, or learn to drive a car
       Am
If you pass the test, you can beat the rest
            Dm
But I don't like to compete, or talk street, street, street
      Dm
I can pick up the best from the party animal


[Chorus]
A                           [ Bm7 ]
   I could leave you, say goodbye
Bm7                          E7sus4      E7
   Or I could love you, if I try - and I could
    C6               Bm7               A
And left to my own devices, I probably would


[Verse]
Am
Pick up a brochure about the sun
Am
Learn to ignore what the photographer saw
      Dm
I was always told that you should join a club
Dm
Stick with the gang, if you want to belong
        Am
I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy
     Am
In a world of my own at the back of the garden
         Dm
I didn't want to compete, or play out on the street
         Dm
For in a secret life I was a round head general


[Chorus]
A                           [ Bm7 ]
   I could leave you, say goodbye
Bm7                          E7sus4      E7
   Or I could love you, if I try - and I could
    C6               Bm7               A
And left to my own devices, I probably would
C6               Bm7              [ F ]
Left to my own devices, I probably would


[Interlude]

      |  F  G  | Am |
(Oh, I would)

[Bridge]
      F#m7
I was faced with a choice at a difficult age
        Fmaj7
Would I write a book, or should I take to the stage?
           Dsus2
But in the back of my head I heard distant feet
    G                                   | G | % |
Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat


[Verse]
           Am
It's not a crime when you look the way you do
     Am
The way I like to picture you
     Dm
When I get home, it's late at night
  Dm
I pour a drink and watch the fight
Am
Turn off the TV, look at a book
Am
Pick up the phone, fix some food
Dm
Maybe I'll sit up all night and day
Dm
Waiting for the minute I hear you say


[Chorus]
A                           [ Bm7 ]
   I could leave you, say goodbye
Bm7                          E7sus4      E7
   Or I could love you, if I try - and I could
    C6               Bm7             [ A ]
And left to my own devices, I probably would


[Chorus]
A                       [ Bm7 ]
   Come on, baby, say goodbye
Bm7                          E7sus4      E7
   Or I could love you, if I try - and I could
    C6               Bm7             |  A  |  %  |
And left to my own devices, I probably would

C6               Bm7               |  A  |  %  |
Left to my own devices, I probably would (Come on, baby)
C6               Bm7              |  A  |  %  |
Left to my own devices, I probably would
