Belle & Sebastian - Piazza New York Catcheradd

(intro) D

D                                    G              D
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
Em                                 Bm
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
    Em                                A
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
    Em                                     A
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
    G                                     Bm
Oh, elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
  Em           A        Bm
A trail for the devil to erase

D                                G                    D
San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Em                               Bm
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
   Em                           A
We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
   Em                           A
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
          G
About the saddest book you've ever read
     Bm
That always makes you cry
    Em             A             Bm
The statue’s crying too and well he may

  D                                 G            D
I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
  Em                       Bm
I love you, my responsibility has found a place
  Em                                 A
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
     Em                          A
Come 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              Bm
Maybe, but not what she deserves

  D                                  G                 D
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
      Em                          Bm
We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
  Em                            A
a privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
      Em                            A
We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
       G                            Bm
And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
     Em              A           Bm
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare

    D                          G             D
The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
    Em                             Bm
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
   Em                           A
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
   Em                                    A
He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for a doorway
       G                            Bm
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Em              A          Bm
Life outside the diamond is a wrench

  D                                   G                 D
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
  Em                               Bm
I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
  Em                             A
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
      Em                         A
You’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee"
        G                                 Bm
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower
Em              A         Bm
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Em              A         Bm
Meet you at the statue in an hour
