I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Let's begin at the beginning
We're [F]lovers and we're losers
We're [G]heroes and we're
pi[C]oneers
[F]We're beggars and we're choosers
[G]Skirting round the edges of the ideal
[Am]demo[G]graphic
We're almost on the guestlist
But [F]we're always stuck in traffic

[Verse 2]
We've [C]watched our close associates
[F]Up and play their parts
They're chat[G]ting up the
it girls
[F]And they're tearing up the charts
While [G]we were paying with coppers
To get our [Am]round in at the bar
We're the C-Team,
[G]we're we're the almost famous
[F]Old friends of the [Bb]stars
[Bbsus2][F]

[Interlude 1]
[Am]
[G][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]Justin is the last
Of the [F]great romantic poets
And he's the [G]only [C]one [G]among us
Who is [F]ever [Csus4]go ing to make it
[F]We pla[G]nned a revolution
From a cheap [Am]Southampton bistro
I [G]don't remember details
But there were Eng[F]lish boys with banjos

[Verse 4]
[C]Jay is our St. George,
and he's standing [F]on a wooden chair
And he sings [C]songs and he slays dragons,
and he's [F]losing all his hair
And [G]Adam is the resurrected
spir[Am]it of Gram Parsons
In [G]plaid instead of rhinestone
and [F]living in South London
And [G]no one's really clear about
[Am]Tommy's job description
But [G]it's pretty clear he's vital to
the [F]whole damn operation
And Dave [G]Danger smiles at strangers,
[Am]Tre's the safest girl I know
And [G]Zo and Harps will skamper up to
vic[F]tory in the city we [Bb]call home

[Verse 5]
We won't change our [Am]ways,
we will proud re[G]main when the glory [F]fades
When the glory fades, yeah

[Verse 6]
I [C]am sick and tired of people
Who are liv[F]ing on the B-List
Yeah, Yeah, they're [C]waiting to be famous
And they're wondering
why they [Csus4]do this
[C]And I

[Verse 7]
[G]know I'm not the one who
is habitu[Am]ally optimistic
But I'm the [G]one who's got the microphone here,
so [F]just remember this

[Verse 8]
Yeah, well, [C]life is about love,
last [Dm]minutes and lost evenings
About [Em]fire in our bellies and
furt[F]ive little feelings
And the [G]aching amplitudes that set
[Am]our needles all a-flickering
And And [G]help us with remembering that the
[F]only thing that's left to do is [C]live[Dm][C]
Yeah, the [F]only thing that's
[G]left to do is [C]live

[Verse 9]
After all of the [Dm]loving and the losing
For the [Em]heroes an[C]d the pioneer[Em]s
The [F]only thing that's left to do
Is [G]get another round in at the bar
