Verse 1:
C#m F#
You take your white finger,
A
slide the nail under
C#m
the top and bottom buttons of
F#
my blazer,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/franz_ferdinand/dark_of_the_matinee_tab_ver_2.html ]
relax the fraying wool,
A
slacken ties and I'm
E
not to look at you in the shoe,
*B
but the eyes.
D *
find the eyes
Chorus:
B
So find me and follow me
through corridors, refectories
A
and files you must follow, leave this academic factory
B
you will find me in the matinee,
the dark of the matinee is mine.
A
its better in the matinee,
the dark of the matinee is mine
E
yes its mine
Riff
Verse 2: same as 1
I time every journey
to bump into you
acidently I
charm you and tell you
of the boys i hate
all the girls i hate
all the words i hate
all the clothes i hate
how I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like,
how you'd have a happy life
if you did the things you like.
Chorus
Middle:
C#m B
So I'm on BBC2 now,
A
telling Terry Wogan how I made it.
C#m B
What I made is unclear,
A
but his deference is and his laughter is.
A E
My words and smile are so easy now.
*Bm
Yes, It's easy now.
D *
Yes its easy now
Chorus x2
