Someone's Looking At You - Boomtown Rats
(Bob Geldoff)

Intro:
(acoustic)
E	B
E	B
	Na na nana nana na (X3)
(electric)
E	B
	Na na nana nana na (X2)


     E						B
On a night like this I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice.
	 E						 B
You come over to my place screaming blue murder, needing someplace to hide.
	E						       B
Well, I wish you'd keep quiet.  Imaginations run riot in these paper-thin walls.
	     E							      	   B	
And when the place comes ablaze with a thousand dropped names I don't know who to call.
	    Eb
But I got a friend over there in the government block
       E
And he knows the situation and he's taking stock.
	     F#
I think I'll call him up now

Put him on the spot, tonight.


(Repeat electric Intro)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/boomtown_rats/someones_looking_at_you_crd.html ]
	    E							       B
They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off about saving some fish.
	   E						     B
Now, could that be construed as some radicals' views or some liberals' wish.
	 Eb
And it's so hot outside and the air is so sweet.
	     E
And when the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak.
	      F#
You know most killing is committed at 90 degrees.
	  F#7
When it's too hot to breathe and it's too hot to think.


Chorus:
(F#7)	       B				    E F#
There's always someone looking at you.  Uh oh uh oh
      B			       		    E F#
S-s-s-someone looking at you.  Uh oh uh oh
	B				     E F#
They're always looking at you.  Uh oh uh oh


Refrain:
A
Tonight
			 E
They're looking at you tonight.

A E x2
(organ solo)

Eb E F# F#7 E(hold)
(guitar solo)

	B
And I wish you'd stop whispering.
E			B
 Don't flatter yourself, nobody's listening.
	 E		   		    B
But it makes me nervous, those things you say.
		E						       B
You may as well shout it from the roof, scream it from your lungs, and spit it from your mouth.
	    E
Hey, if you fall on deaf ears to indulge all your fears
	  F#
There's a spy in the sky.  There's a noise on the wire.
	  F#7
There's a tap on the line.  And for every paranoid's desire.



Repeat Chorus:


Coda:
(F#)	      B
They're always looking at ya.
E	F#    B			x6 (tacit B chord on last repeat)
They're always looking at ya.

E(hold)
  On a night like this I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice.
