[Verse 1]
 
C#m                 B
You take your white finger
F#m
Slide the nail under
                           C#m
the top and bottom buttons of
   B
my blazer
F#m
Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties
        A                   E                    Bm
And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes
D
Find the eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   Bm
So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and
D
files you must follow, leave this academic factory you will
Bm
find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee. It's
D                                                 A
better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee is mine
         C#m  B  F#   C#m
yes it's mi----ine
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C#m              B   F#m
I time every journey, to bump into you, accidentally I
C#m            B        F#m
 charm you and tell you   of the boys I hate
                      A
all the girls I hate, all the words I hate
                      F#m
all the clothes I hate, how I'll never be anything I hate
   A                         E
You smile, mention something that you like,
                 Bm
how you'd have a happy life
                D
if you did the things you like
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  Bm
So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and
D
files you must follow, leave this academic factory you will
Bm
find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee. It's
D                                                 A
better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee is mine
         C#m  B  F#m
yes it's mi----ine
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C#m           B     F#m
 So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it
    C#m              B
And what I made is unclear now
F#m
But his deference is and his laughter is
A                          E
 My words and smile are so easy now
           Bm                 D
Yes, it's easy now, yes, it's easy now
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  Bm
So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and
D
files you must follow, leave this academic factory you will
Bm
find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee. It's
D
better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee
 
  Bm
Well find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and
D
files you must follow, leave this academic factory you will
Bm
find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee. It's
D                                                 A
better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee is mine
         C#m  B  F#m   C#
yes it's mi----ine

The Terry Wogan verse and the 'you mention something you like verses' are some of my favorite lyrics. 'my words and smile are so easy now' I'd like to get to that place one day myself.
