But you can turn it on and play the innocent, though you've been caught.
Db                                                      Fm

Infantile by Suzy and Steve

B                      E
   But she only came to gloat
                          G#m
It stuck right there in my throat
                           G
How she loved to turn the screw
                       D                          B
And leave you feel indebted to her fantasies and views
                           E
So surprised you saw it through
                      G#m
Couldn't help but notice
                            G
You'd covered all means of escape
                             D         B
Found the other people's parties second rate
C#m                           C                   F#          B

                           E
Reduced a listener to a tear
                                G#m
Forgetting what had brought him here
                        G
Undoing everything he'd known
                  D           B
Left him wake up in the morning on his own
                         E
It's how you leave no time to breathe
                G#m
It's how you leave no time to breathe
                    G#m
All is not all that it seems
                      G
Thought the rest was just a breeze
                       D             B
Till you remind me of my inadequacies
C#m                    C                    F#
It ain't easy           It ain't easy           It ain't easy
C#m                    C                    F#
It ain't easy           It ain't easy           It ain't easy

It's infantile, it's in your smile, here's my sign you'll soon be mine

He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars,
G#                      A
Will you believe this bullshit?

Tell me you don't want to face this situation any more than
G / A / Em / D / Solo over the top
I do.
G                                                   A
So what does he have in store; does he need you to bleed?
Em                       D
Inadequate in all he breathes,
B                 C                      A             D
He claims that he knows you, says it's written in the stars,

Will you believe this bullshit?
    Eb                           F                      G
If you don't want to face this situation any more then I don't.

This Boy Can't Swim-Catatonia
A                   D#        B            F#
This boy can't swim, he's wearing too many skins
A              D#            B              F#     F  F# F
I hope he sinks, then he'll forget everything
F#
Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together
B                      Bm
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer
F#
Left on the side they have long since you joined him
B                         Bm                          F#
Back in the fold thick as thieves they will weigh him down
C#\A   (slides down to A from C#)
2nd verse (chords as above)
This boy can't swim he's carrying too many sins
I hope he sinks, till he forgets everything
2nd Chorus
'good as gold' alternates with 'thick as thieves'

You should know by now that the common thread is taut
              G           Em
I'd like to stay but you just won't listen
A                    G                Em
Disappointment I'd take though there's no point to it
Gm
I blew it

If you could think aloud, it won't mean anything will change
             G                     Em
As tests go wrong and we deny it together
A                  G          Em
Or a second of thought might ache forever

But did you ever go too far up against your own persuasion

Consummate madness then despise
D                Em7         D          Em7              A
You should have learnt by now that the common thread is taut

It's hard to reflect when your world is sighing
A                 G                 Em
You could never catch up and there's no use trying
Gm         D   Gm       D
I blew it          I blew it       I blew it
Gm                                   D
And if the gods were on your side I couldn't let you slide
