Nerina Pallot – The Girl From Lakeville chords

[Intro]

A C G

[Verse 1]

     AThe girl comes from Lakeville
     AHer dad, he cuts hair
         C       G                  AIt's a small town in the middle of nowhere

   AIn tried and tested fashion
           AShe took a plane and headed west
       C         G            ATo a city of neuroses, to the one that I love best

[Chorus]

        E                               D         ADid you think I couldn't feel it from 5,000 miles away?
      E                                 D         AThat I wouldn't sense betrayal in the things you could not say?
         Dm                  G                       AI may be ditzy, I know I'm uncool, but I'm not like you

[Verse 2]

ASierra bonita
AThat you'll never be
         C           G                AAnd I figure for that, you'll always hate me

     ABut beauty is affliction
    AIt scars me from the rest
       C             GI only wanted to be ordinary
         ATo be no more, to have no less

[Chorus]

              EBut did you think you wouldn't think of me
         D                   AWhen you moved your hand down there?
      EThat he wouldn't think it strange
           D                    ATo run his fingers through your hair?
         EIt's the one thing that you want
              D                  AThe thing you know you'll never have
              DmThree lonely people
                GIt's one sorry mess
