Amy Macdonald - Barrowland Ballroom Chords & Tabs

Amy Macdonald: Barrowland Ballroom : This Is The Life
Tabbed by: p-nutz

Capo: First Fret

Intro: G

Verse:
       G
Oh the lights outside they're as bright as the sun
             C
They're much brighter than anyone
       G
Oh the girls in the queue yes they're waiting for you
             C
Well they're waiting for their song to be sung


Pre-Chorus:
             Am                             C
And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
             G                      D
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame?
             Am                           C
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
            G               D
I wish that I was on the stage


Chorus:
   Am 
Oh won't you take a ride with me
            D
Through the Barrowland history
      G                     C
And I'll sing you a song or two
Am                                 D
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
G                C
It's only me and you
        Am
And the drink and dance and drugs you know
     D
It's all part of the show we go to
G                   C
Maybe I should tell you
     Am                                 D
That people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
    C             D        G
Tonight, it's only me and you


Verse:same as 1st
Oh nothing beats the feeling of the high Barrowland ceiling
When the band start to play
Won't you buy me a drink and I'll tell her what I think if she gets in my way

Pre-chorus:same as 1st
And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame?
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
I wish that I was on the stage


Chorus:same as 1st
Oh won't you take a ride with me
Through the Barrowland history
And I'll sing you a song or two
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care

And the drink and dance and drugs you know
It's all part of the show we go to
Maybe I should tell you
That people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
Tonight, it's only me and you


G until bridge



Bridge:
             Am                         D
And when the night turns to day and the lights they fade away
            G                   C
I wish that love and life would pass me by
             Am                                D
And when the band stops a song because there's something going on
              G                  C
Well there is magic in the air I swear
      Am                     D
And I wish that I saw Bowie, playing on that stage
   C                            D
I wish that I saw something, to make me come of age

Oh won't you take a ride with me
