Belle & Sebastian - Piazza New York Catcheradd

(intro) GG C GElope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the worldAm EmI will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl Am DHow many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take? Am DHow many nights of limping round on pagan holidays? C EmOh, elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze Am D EmA trail for the devil to eraseG C GSan Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will playAm EmPiazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay? Am DWe hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay Am DWe hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell CAbout the saddest book you've ever read EmThat always makes you cry Am D EmThe statue’s crying too and well he may G C GI love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face Am EmI love you, my responsibility has found a place Am DBeside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words Am DCome wave upon me from the family wider net absurd C Em“You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job"Am D EmMaybe, but not what she deserves G C GElope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake Am EmWe’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates Am Da privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style Am DWe’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by C EmAnd at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate Am D EmIn a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare G C GThe catcher hits for .318 and catches every day Am EmThe pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays Am DHe goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor Am DHe knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for a doorway C EmBack into the life he wants and the confession of the benchAm D EmLife outside the diamond is a wrench G C GI wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend Am EmI know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend Am DA lady stepping from the songs we love until this day Am DYou’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee" C EmThe sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flowerAm D EmMeet you at the statue in an hourAm D EmMeet you at the statue in an hour
