Belle & Sebastian - Piazza New York Catcheradd

(intro) DD G DElope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the worldEm BmI will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl Em AHow many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take? Em AHow many nights of limping round on pagan holidays? G BmOh, elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze Em A BmA trail for the devil to eraseD G DSan Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will playEm BmPiazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay? Em AWe hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay Em AWe hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell GAbout the saddest book you've ever read BmThat always makes you cry Em A BmThe statue’s crying too and well he may D G DI love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face Em BmI love you, my responsibility has found a place Em ABeside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words Em ACome wave upon me from the family wider net absurd G Bm“You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job"Em A BmMaybe, but not what she deserves D G DElope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake Em BmWe’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates Em Aa privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style Em AWe’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by G BmAnd at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate Em A BmIn a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare D G DThe catcher hits for .318 and catches every day Em BmThe pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays Em AHe goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor Em AHe knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for a doorway G BmBack into the life he wants and the confession of the benchEm A BmLife outside the diamond is a wrench D G DI wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend Em BmI know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend Em AA lady stepping from the songs we love until this day Em AYou’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee" G BmThe sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flowerEm A BmMeet you at the statue in an hourEm A BmMeet you at the statue in an hour
