INTRO

VERSE 1
C
You're not as messed up as you think you are

Your self-absorption makes you messier
                                                  Am
Just settle down and you will feel a whole lot better
                            F    G        C
Deep down you're just like everybody else


VERSE 2
C
She's not as pretty as she thinks she is

Just picture her after she's had kids
                                            Am
I bet she sits at home and listens to The Smiths
                            F   G       C
Deep down she's just like everybody else


CHORUS
Dm                    G
So why are you sat at home?
                               C
You're not designed to be alone
                             Am
You just got used to saying "no"

So get up and get down and get outside
Dm                        G
Cos it's a lovely sunny day
                        C
But you hide yourself away
                              Am
You've only got yourself to blame
                                   C
Get up and get down and get outside


VERSE 3
C
He's not as clever as he likes to think

He's just ambitious with his arguing
                                                  Am
He's crap at dancing, yeah and he can't hold his drink
                           F   G       C
Deep down he's just like everybody else


VERSE 4
C
I'm not as awesome as this song makes out

I'm angry, underweight and sketching out
                                            Am
I'm building bonfires on my vanities and doubts
                       F    G       C
To get warm just like everybody else

Repeat the CHORUS ^


MIDDLE 8
G                                   A#
Amy thinks that life is lacking in drama
                                               F
So she fell for horoscopes, faith-healing and karma
                                       Dm
She's so wrapped up in her invisible armour
                         G
She'll never grow into herself
                                                      A#
And it's OK thinking me and all my friends are just wasters
                                                         F
But saying that I can still see through her heirs and graces
                                              Dm
I bet she's scared her life won't leave any traces
                          G
Caught up like everyone else


BRIDGE
                      F
That's not the point anyway
  G                                       F
Oh darling, I felt compelled to call you up to say...


CHORUS (let first Am ring, then come in on the D with intro rhtyhm)
Dm                        G
So why are you sat at home?
                               C
You're not designed to be alone
                             Am
You just got used to saying "no"

So get up and get down and get outside
Dm                        G
Cos it's a lovely sunny day
                        C
But you hide yourself away
                              Am
You've only got yourself to blame
                                   C
Get up and get down and get outside
