You take your white finger
F#m

Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties

And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes
D
Find the eyes

 
   Bm
So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and
D
files you must follow, leave this academic factory you will
Bm
find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee. it's
D                                                 A

 charm you and tell you   of the boys i hate
                      A

all the girls i hate, all the words i hate
                      F#m      

all the clothes i hate, how I'll never be anything I hate
   A                         E

You smile, mention something that you like,
                 Bm

how you'd have a happy life
                D
if you did the things you like.

 So I'm on BBC2 now, 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
           Bm                 D 
Yes, it's easy now, yes, it's easy now

Dark Of The Matinee

Am
Although my lover lives
F
In a place where I can't live
C
I kind of find I like a
E
life This lonely

Am
It rips and pierces me
F
In places I can't see
C
I love the rip of nerves The
E
rip that wakes me

Am
So I'm dissatisfied
F
I love dissatisfied
C
I love to feel as though there's
E
more that I need



F           C
So come on home
F           C
So come on home

C
Come on we're chasing
E
Everything we've ever wanted

Am
I Replace you easily
F
Replace pathetically
C
I flirt with every flighty thing
E
That falls my way

Am
But how I needed you
F
When I needed you
C
Let's not forget we are so strong
E
So bloody strong

Blue light falls
E                  C
Upon your perfect skin
           E             Am
Falls and you draw back again
            E            Am
Falls and this is how I fell
   E            Am
And I cannot forget
E           Am   
I cannot forget
F           C  
   Come on home
F           C

Flick your cigarette then kiss me
Flick your eyes at mine so briefly 
Your leather jacket lies in sticky pools of cider blackberry

You glance a ricochet from every alpha male behind me
Eyes 
Like marbles on a washing machine
I wonder
How the boy feels

Katherine kiss me
In the alleyway by Jakey's 
Jack in the sodium light
Yes, I love you 
I mean, I- I mean, I- need to love

And though your opened eyes stare 
Bored upon the overflowing pipes above me
Tonight
I don't mind
Because I never wonder
How the girl feels

??	C(?)
C	Em	2x

C					   Em
So I'm trying to pretend you're out in the garden
C		
That you're about to walk in
			  Em
To wash your hands in the kitchen
		  F	
But she said your face changed
				G7
And your breath got slower and slower


Until there was breath no more

Wine In The Afternoon solo

&quot;Walk Away&quot; is the second single from Franz Ferdinand's second album, You Could Have It So Much Better. The release date of the single is 5 December 2005.  The song's melody line is borrowed from Kraftwerk's &quot;The Model&quot;, or in German, &quot;Das Modell&quot;. This is particularly clear in the opening of the song.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
