Belle and Sebastian - I'm Waking up to Us, the title track of their late 2001 release:

I need someo^Ene ^Amto t^Eake some joy in something I do You need a m^C#man who's either rich, or losing a screw

You know^B I love you here's the irony: A(open) C#m You're going to walk away intact,

I think yo^Bu never loved me anyway A(open) E You love yourself and you love men

to k^Biss y^Eour ars^Be, expensive clothes, please stop me there I thin^Ek I'm w^Aaking ^Bup to us, we're a disaster

^EYou don't ^Awant to ^Bknow me cause you move in ^ECircles ^Aof the ^Bbrave, where ^C#mart defines their lives.

She wa^Es the one^A love o^Bf my li^Efe,^Am and^E I let her go And^E if I l^Aook like^B death tod^C#may, then please let her know

I never^B wanted any harm for her, A(open) C#m B I only wanted her to see the beauty of the world surrounding her

A(open) E But when she opened up her eyes

It's muc^Bh too lat^Ee, our cha^Bnce is gone, she's with a guy Who take^Es the priz^Ae for^B everything I ever showed her

^EDigging ^Aall the ^Bfun because she's older I ^Efed her ^Awith a ^Bspoon, I made her mother sm^C#mile,

I helped the kid survive. Bridge: E D A C x2

She was the one ^Elove^Am of^E my life, she showed me the road I loved her dog,^C#m her steady gaze, the chapter is closed.

B A(open) C#m I only wanted all the best for her, the best thing was to stay away

She grew up^B and she left the rest of us A(open) E And now the understanding's gone

I hav^Ben't ch^Eanged, ^Bhow could I' I'm pretty much the same person ^EI cannot^B keep the a^Enger hid^Aden^B anymore, but lucky for you

^EYou are ^Anot ar^Bound, my ange^Er tur^Ans to p^Bity and to love, The season has ^C#marrived, The season has arrived.

Another great tune from an outstanding group of musicians, brilliant in its simplicity and heart. Remember, 'Contrahit orator, variant in carmine vates'. R. T. Devitt.
