Lyrics

[Intro]
| C#m | -   | -   | - |
| B   | F#m | C#m | - |
| B   | F#m |

[Verse 1]
C#m                    B
   You take your white finger
F#m                                                C#m
   Slide the nail under the top and bottom buttons of
   B
My blazer
F#m
   Relax the fraying wool,
slacken ties and I'm
A                   E
 Not to look at you in the shoe
But the eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
             D
Find the eyes

[Chorus]
Bm
Find me and follow me through corridors,
                D
refectories and files
You must follow,
leave this academic factory
         Bm
You will find me in the matinee,
the dark of the matinee
     D
It's better in the matinee,
                           A
the dark of the matinee is mine
          C#m B F#m
Yes, it's mine

[Bridge]
      | C#m | - | B |
| F#m | C#m | - | B |
| F#m |

[Verse 2]
C#m             B
   I time every journey
F#m
   To bump into you accidentally,
 C#m              B
I   charm you and tell you
F#m
   Of the boys I hate, all the girls I hate,
A
 all the words I hate
All the clothes I hate,
F#m
   how I'll never be anything I hate
A
 You smile,
                  E
mention something that you like

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh,
                 Bm                        D
how you'd have a happy life if you did the things you like

[Chorus]
Bm
Find me and follow me through corridors,
                D
refectories and files
You must follow,
leave this academic factory
         Bm
You will find me in the matinee,
the dark of the matinee
     D
It's better in the matinee,
                           A
the dark of the matinee is mine
          C#m B F#m
Yes, it's mine

[Break]
C#m              B
   So I'm on BBC Two now
F#m
   Telling Terry Wogan how I made it
   C#m                 B
And   what I made is unclear now
F#m
   But his deference is and his laughter is
A                          E
 My words and smile are so easy now

[Pre-Chorus]
          Bm                  D
Yes, it's easy now, yes, it's easy now

[Chorus]
Bm
Find me and follow me through corridors,
                D
refectories and files
You must follow,
leave this academic factory
         Bm
You will find me in the matinee,
the dark of the matinee
     D
It's better in the matinee,
the dark of the matinee
         Bm
You will find me and follow me through corridors,
                D
refectories and files
You must follow,
leave this academic factory
         Bm
You will find me in the matinee,
the dark of the matinee
D
Better in the matinee,
                           A
the dark of the matinee is mine
          C#m B F#m C#
Yes, it's mine
