Left To My Own Devices / Rhythm Of The Night Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]I get out [Am]of bed [Dm]at ha[Am]lf past ten
Phone up a friend who's a party animal
[Dm]Turn on the news and drink some tea
Maybe if you're with me,
we'll do some shopping

[Verse 2]
[Am]One day, I'll read or learn [A]to drive a[Am] car
If you pass the test, you can beat the rest
But I don't [Dm]like to compete,
or talk street, street, street
I can pick up the best from
the party [A]animal

[Verse 3]
I could [A]leave you, say good[Bm]bye
Or I could love you, if [Esus4]I try
And [E]I could
[Am]And left to my own devices,
[Bm]I probably would
[A]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Pick up a brochure about the sun
Learn to ignore what the photographer saw
I was [Dm]always told that you
should join a club
Stick with the gang,
if you want to [Am]be long
[Dm]I was a lonely

[Verse 5]
[Am]boy, no strength, no joy
In a world of my own at the back
of the garden
I didn't want [Dm]to compete,
or play out on the street
For in a secret life I was a round
head [A]general

[Verse 6]
I could [A]leave you, say good[Bm]bye
Or I could love you, if I [Esus4]try
And I [E]could
And [Am]left to my own devices,
[Bm]I probably would[A]
[Am]Left to my own devices,
[Bm]I probably would[Dm][F][G][Am]

[Interlude 1]
Oh, I would
[F][G][Am][F][G][Am][F][G][Am]

[Verse 7]
I was [F#m]faced with a choice
at a difficult age
Would [F]I write a book? Or should
I take to the stage?
But in the [Dm]back of my head
I heard distant feet
Che [G]Guevara and De'bussy to
a disco beat
[Dm][G]

[Verse 8]
[F]
It's [Dm]not a[Am] crime when you
look the way you do
The way I like to picture you
When [Dm]I get home, it's late at night
I pour a drink and watch the fight

[Verse 9]
[Am]Turn off the TV, look at a book
Pick up the phone, fix some food
[Dm]Maybe I'll sit up all night and day
Waiting for the minute I hear you say
[G]

[Verse 10]
[A]
I could leave you, say good[Bm]bye
Or I could love you, if [Esus4]I try
And I [E]could
And [Am]left to my own devices,
[Bm]I probably would[A]
Come on, baby, say good[Bm]bye
Or I could love you, if [Esus4]I try
And [E]I could
And [Am]left to my own devices,
[Bm]I probably would[A]
[Am]Left to my own devices,
[Bm]I probably would[A]
(Come on baby)
[C]Left to my own devices,
[Bm]I probably would[A]

[Outro 1]
