Piazza New York Catcher - Belle And Sebastian | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
F#

[Verse 1]
---------------------
 F#                                  B               F#
Elope with me Miss Private and we'll sail around the world
G#m                           D#m
I  will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
    G#m                         C#
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
    G#m                             C#
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
      B                               D#m
Oh elope with me in private and we'll set something ablaze
  G#m           C#          D#m
A trail for the devil to erase 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
F#                              B                    F#
San Francisco's calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
  G#m                             D#m
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
   G#m                           C#
We hung about the stadium, we've got no place to stay
   G#m                           C#
We hung about the Tenderloin and tenderly you tell
          B                              D#m
About the saddest book you ever read, it always makes you cry
    G#m             C#                 D#m
The statue's crying too and well he may

[Verse 3]
---------------------
  F#                               B            F#
I love you I've a drowning grip on your adoring face
  G#m                        D#m                    G#m
I love you, my responsibility   has found a place beside you
                              C#
And strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
     G#m                          C#
Come wave upon me from the family wider net absurd
             B                                D#m
"You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job"
G#m        C#                D#m
Maybe, but not what she deserves

[Verse 4]
---------------------
 F#                                  B                    F#
Elope with me Miss Private and we'll drink ourselves awake
      G#m                          D#m
We'll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
  G#m                            C#
A privy seal to keep the feel of nineteen sixty style
      G#m                            C#
We'll comment on the decor and we'll help the passer by
       B                               D#m
And at dusk when work is over we'll continue the debate
     G#m              C#           D#m
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare

[Verse 5]
---------------------
    F#                                  B                F#
The catcher hits for three eighteen and catches every day
    G#m                             D#m
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
   G#m                           C#
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
   G#m                                    C#
He knows the drink affects his speed he's praying for a doorway
       B                               D#m
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
G#m                 C#        D#m
Life outside the diamond is a wrench

[Verse 6]
---------------------
  F#                                   B                  F#
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
  G#m                               D#m
I know it wouldn't come to love, my heroine pretend
  G#m                             C#
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
      G#m                        C#
You'd settle for an epitaph like "Walk Away, Renee"
           B                              D#m
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower
G#m             C#              D#m
Meet you at the statue in an hour  
G#m             C#           D#m
Meet you at the statue in an hour
