Watch The Tapes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Read all the pamphlets
and watch the tapes
Read all the pamphlets
and watch the tapes
Read all the pamphlets and watch the tapes
I get all confused when you mix up [D]the dates[Am]
[G][Am][G][Am][G][D][G]
[D][G][Am][G][Am][G][D][Am]
[G]Whoa

[Verse 2]
Don't [Am]gimme the [G]pretend you
[Am]come for [G]the weekend
[D]And [Am]you stay for [G]the week[Am]
[G]You[Am] say that you hate it but
that's how you made [G]it
Just to [Am]keep it [G]oblique
We're both [Am]high high high,
high high on lemon sips
We're all suh- suh- suh sucked-
in[G]- by parlour tricks
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[D]Oh [Am]the people deceive
you the kids never leave
'Cause you make them at home
You try to appease them and
they show you the stick
But still you pick up the phone
But hey man, you can take it
As long as they don't shove
you out in the cold
It's not getting better,
no it's not getting better, man
It's just getting old
Ah [D]ooh, we do what we're
programmed [G]to do
[Dm]Hey we do what[D] we're told[Am]

[Verse 4]
Ah ooh ooh
[Am]
I never remember to carry my
book when I get on the bus
You never forget it's
your time to collect
When they are making a fuss
We're both high high high,
high high on lemon sips
We're all high high high,
high high on wiggling hips
And [D]ah ooh,
you break off your plans for the weekend
And ah ohh, you can tell them the dates
But [G]that [D]don't mean they're
letting you go
[Am]

[Verse 5]
Ah ooh ooh
Go

[Verse 6]
Ah ooh ooh
[Am]
Don't gimme the pretend you
come for the weekend
And you stay for the year
[G]Avo[Am]id all the plans cause
we're making our day jobs
Into a steady career
We're both high high high,
high high on lemon sips
[G]We all cla[Am]w claw claw,
cli- climb- on to sinking ships
And [D]ah ooh,
avoid all the cold sideways glances
And ah ooh, celebrate,
celebrate, celebrate
And then turn [G]to stone

[Verse 7]
Read all [Am]the p[G]amph[D]let
s and watch [Am]the tapes
Read all the pamphlets and
watch the tapes
Read all the pamphlets
and watch the tapes
You turn twenty- five and now you're
all out [D]of escapes, c'mon
[C]

[Verse 8]
Hey the rock writer told
me to tell you
"Though you're great
and you're brave
You still lack that which

[Verse 9]
makes you a star"
[Am]Read [D]all the pamphlets
and watch the tapes
Read all the [Am]pamphlet[D]s
and watch [Am]the tapes
[D]Read all the pamphlets and
watch the [D]tapes
Read all [D]the pamphlets
and watch the tapes
[D]Read all the pamph[Am]lets
and watch the tapes
[D]Read all the pamphlets
and watch [D]the tapes
Read all the pamphlets
and watch the tapes
We all get a little drunk and then
we [Am]act like apes
Ow
