{C F Em F} x2 I wrote you a song (C) I've penned a few words (F) The sentiment's basic (Em) If a little absurd (F) I know you're like me Always wanted a song So here it is Sorry it took me so long This song is for you (C) To sing or to play (C7) I hope that it brightens (Dm) Your dreariest day (Fadd9) Because I'm your friend (C) Or I just want to say 'hi' (C7) Or you seem a bit off (Dm) Delete what doesn't apply (add7) I'm sorry you're ill I'm glad that you're well You've lost or gained weight But I really can't tell I wish we could talk more But what would we say Elton sang it first But not to you, I'm afraid This song is for you To sing or to play I hope that it brightens Your dreariest day Because I'm your friend Or I just want to say 'hi' Or you seem a bit off Delete what doesn't apply So you say your heart is broken, (D) tell me it's not true (F C6) Well I've got a defibrillator, (D) or a pot of superglue (F G) You're one in a million But you haven't a clue I hope you know who you are 'Cos the lyrics ring true I wrote you this song Won't you sing it with me? It's not very hard Try it and see This song is for you To sing or to play I hope that it brightens Your dreariest day Because I'm your friend Or I just want to say 'hi' Or you seem a bit off Delete what doesn't apply This song is for you I hope that you learn it However you want 'Cos in my eyes you've earned it Because I'm your friend And I just want to say 'hi' And if you're feeling down I don't need to know why. I don't need to know why

Capo 2 {G D, F C} Extending into the frontal lobe of my brain And if it got damaged I wouldn't be quite as sane Bringing spinal fluid to my dopamine receptors Without them I would be quite susceptible To primal urges from memories I can't retain. {G D, F C} It's forward of the corpus callosum and above too The ventricle developed from the telencephalon as I grew But the anterior horn doesn't have choroid plexuses It can't make spinal fluid so it draws from the nexus It imports the protection the emotional section is due {C7} (All of which is to say my brain makes an effort to love you) {G D, Em F C5} The anterior horn of the lateral ventricle Keeps my forebrain working at its pinnacle And if I'm sick then give me chloramphenicol But there's no Neisseria here You're my favourite source of dopamine my dear {Em G, D F C5} Jargon aside Swallow your pride We're all just chemicals on the inside I can abide The times that you lied Because you allowed your forebrain to decide. {G D, Em F C5} The anterior horn of the lateral ventricle Keeps my forebrain working at its pinnacle And if I'm sick then give me chloramphenicol But there's no Neisseria here You're my favourite source of dopamine my dear {G D, Em F C5} The anterior horn of the lateral ventricle Keeps my forebrain working at its pinnacle And if I'm sick then give me chloramphenicol But there's no Neisseria here You're my favourite source of dopamine my dear

Capo 2 {D D F G} Dear Mr Baynton I think you're rather swell Many feel you're handsome and I quite agree as well Haven't seen every sketch you've been in But I will have soon I love every song I've heard you sing You can't half carry a tune {D, Cadd9} x2 {D D F G} Dear Mr Baynton No, please don't scrawl your sobriquet I need no autograph or photograph To prove it if we met Now I don't want you to think I'm just another obsessed fan {Bb} But I'd like to convey {C} My utter admiration For such an outstanding man {D, Cadd9} x2 {Bb C} But I get this urge to write to you And maybe we could chat You send me an at-reply And say that I can call you Say that I can call you Mat {D, Cadd9} x2 {D D F G} Dear Mr Baynton I simply adored your E.P. And I think that Mrs. Winchester Might have approved of me 'Cos I don't want your babies And don't track you on foursquare And I didn't pay a hundred pounds Just for a lock of your hair {D, Cadd9} x2 {D D F G} I don't collect the tea-bags from Your empty cups of tea And I definitely don't play out our marriage on Sims 3 I saw that creep at the bus-stop Watching you in the rain {Bb} But no need to report it {C} 'Cos I've got it sorted They won't bother you again. {D, Cadd9} x2 {Bb C} But I get this urge to write to you And maybe you'll reply A verbal commendation or Some contact information Is what I hope you will supply {D, Cadd9} x2 {D D F G} x3 {Bb C}x3 {D, Cadd9} x2 {Bb C} But I get this urge to write to you and maybe you'll reply A verbal commendation's what I'm hoping you'll supply I get this urge to write to you and maybe we could chat You send me an at-reply and say that I can call you Say that I can call you Mat.

{E B E B} A clockwork heart is a very good start {E B A} And a very romantic notion {E B E B} But clockwork parts have a delicate art {E B A} And blood tends to hinder their motion {A E A E} The cogs will clot, the wheels will stop {A E B} And it'll cause quite a commotion {E B E B} When the rust starts to stick and the ticker won't tick {E B A} Is it really worth such devotion? {D A} You seem to have run out of love again, I fear {Fm} Can I wind that {E} up again for you {A} dear? {E B E B} A clockwork heart will fall apart {E B A} At the very first mention of romance {E B E B} Should the need arise, it will not recognise {E B A} Even the plainest advance {A E A E} With the right engineer I'm sure you could steer {A E B} Your way to having it enhanced {E B E B} But a flesh-and-blood heart rarely needs a restart {E B A} And is far more easily financed. {D A} You seem to have run out of love again, I fear {D A} Can I wind that up again for you dear? {D A} Have you suffered from another broken gear? {Fm} Can I wind that {A} up again for you? {Fm} Can I wind that {A} up again for you? {Fm} Can I wind that {E} up again for you? {A} dear?

Capo 3 {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} They repealed the Bloody Code So there's no bodies to be sold To the medical school supply A lecturer would pay, it's known A clever man might find his own {Bbm C} And sell it to the sawbones on the sly {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} It started at the inn we keep A lodger there died in his sleep And bills needed paying, of course Well no-one there would know his name, And you know it'd be a shame {Bbm C} To bury such a valuable corpse. {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} It's wrong, it's right It's black and it's white {Fm C#+7+5 Bbm C} We're creeping through the alleys In the dead of the night {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} We'd stop, if we could, But the money's so good {Fm D#9 D#9 Fm} It won't be long before the stiffs Are dying of fright {Bbm Cm, Cm D#9 Fm} No, it won't be long before the stiffs are dying of fright! {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} We went and knocked on Knox's door He gave us 7-pounds-ten for A body to dissect in the lab Another tenant's fallen sick Some whiskey ought to do the trick {Bbm C} To help her on her way to the slab {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} No more tenants getting ill How're we gonna pay the bills? Working isn't really our style. To rob from graves we're not inclined - Though punishment is just a fine - {Bbm C} We don't find the labour worthwhile. {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} It's wrong, it's right It's black and it's white {Fm C#+7+5 Bbm C} We're creeping through the alleys In the dead of the night {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} We'd stop, if we could, But the money's so good {Fm D#9 D#9 Fm} It won't be long before the stiffs Are dying of fright {Bbm Cm, Cm D#9 Fm} No, it won't be long before the stiffs are dying of fright! {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} {D#9 Cm D#9 Cm} {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} The bodies started piling in The doc' doesn't suspect a thing He never asks us where we've been Perhaps he doesn't care {Fm Cm D#9, Bbm C} So go and fetch your knife my friend The good fortunes will never end At least until they apprehend Mr Burke and Mr Hare {Fm Cm D#9 Cm} {D#9 Cm D#9 Cm} It's wrong, it's right It's black and it's white We're creeping through the alleys In the dead of the night We'd stop, if we could, But the money's so good It won't be long before the stiffs Are dying of fright No, it won't be long before the stiffs are dying of fright! It's wrong, it's right It's black and it's white We're creeping through the alleys In the dead of the night We'd stop, if we could, But the money's so good It won't be long before the stiffs Are dying of fright No, it won't be long before the stiffs are dying of fright!

Capo 4 {Em A} Take me out of my mind Smile in my photographs I've been so down {Em A C} I forgot I used to own this town I forgot I used to own this town {F} I forgot I used to own this I've gotta reclaim this place Before the strangers move in But the chicken soup makes me sicker And I don't know where to begin Did I ever really know you? You seem to have gone before you got in You say acedia's not evil it's just a Minor cardinal sin It's just a minor cardial sin It's just a myocardial {Em A} x3 {Em F} I'll prob'bly hate it in the morning I'll have forgotten by the evening time {C Em G B} It's hard to bear a grudge you can't remember {Em C G B} It's hard to hate a man you don't recall {Em C G B} But I know it'll still be mid-September {Em C G B} Before I feel I'm back on top of it all Try on all my clothes Nothing fits for more than a week They won't stop digging the roads up And the pipes have started to leak We are standing in the doorways We are huddled from the rain We used to love this weather and I know We can love it again Yeah, I know We can love it again Oh, we can love again I'll prob'bly hate it in the morning I'll have forgotten by the evening time It's hard to bear a grudge you can't remember It's hard to hate a man you don't recall But I know it'll still be mid-September Before I feel I'm back on top Before I feel I'm back on top Before I feel I'm back on top Of it all.

about

I have been threatening to record this for over a year now, almost from the day I bought my first ukulele and wrote my first song on it: This Might Be Your Song. I present it as a debut EP. I hope you enjoy it.
