Sleep The Clock Around Uke tab by Belle And Sebastian

Intro
E B C#m A

        E
And the moment will come when composure returns

      B
Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall

        C#m
And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air

         A
Down the Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade

          E
Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way

        B
And for once in your life you've got nothing to say

          C#m
And could this be the time when somebody will come

         A
To say, "Look at yourself, you're not much use to anyone"

E B C#m A

       E
Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill

         B
Read the letter you got from the memory girl

       C#m
But it takes more than this to make sense of the day

         A
Yeah, it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste

        E
And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that

             B
And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag

       C#m
Of the United States of Calamity, hey!

      A
After all that you've done, boy, I know you're going to pay 

E B C#m A x2

       E
In the morning you come to the ladies salon

       B
To get all fitted out for The Paperback Throne

        C#m
But the people are living far away from the place

          A
Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste

        E
And the puzzle will last until somebody will say

           B
"There's a lot to be done while your head is still young"

       C#m
If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind

         A
Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine

E B C#m A x4

        E
Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid

     B
Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came

         C#m
Then you go to the place where you've finally found

        A
You can look at yourself, sleep the clock around
