F#m7 "So how do we know each other, and how do you have my number? Well why don't you guide me? You be the driver." F#m7 Say what you want and leave your shyness home And you should do what you want and write a little poem Leave it for her and live another day And you should leave it for her, the girl around the way Write down a list of things you want to do And then you leave it in work because you want to live a little Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed Mini Take her to dinner, use her boyfriend's money Chorus: A C# Hey lady, put the phone down F#m Cancel all operations D Tell your friends to cool it A C# Your cover's blown, I want to see you alone F#m Cancel all operations D Tell your friends to cool it A C# Your cover's blown Planning a break is such a tricky thing Because you move to the country, she comes back again And then you move to the city, but she goes abroad Is she telling you something? Is she getting bored? I'll make a rough plan to sleep around, I'm in a rut I need a change, I'm a lazy rat, if I am honest But my bold change of tact will fade out with the summer I've got no appetite and all the girls are bummers Em G My baby doesn't look at me A The way I want her to look Bm F#m A She doesn't "comprend" Em G My baby's got it going on A Bm F#m She's got a friend hid in every street in this town G Am G F E I want to go out but there's nobody home .
