Sebastian you're in a mess
F#m
You had a dream, they called you king of all the hipsters,
C#m B
Is it true or are you still the queen?
E B
Like getting blood out of a stone
F#m
The city left you lost and gone
C#m
B
You came to dance, but there's no poignancy when they all leave you...
Am Em
Standing alone
Am Em
standing alone
Am Em
Am C B
E B
The wider issues of the day
F#m
Just pass you by, you're gonna pay
C#m B
For looking at the floor when people talk to you.

You wrote a book about yourself

The people left it on the shelf
You'll write another one

You're on the sofa hidden deep
C#m B
While on the telly Sid James speaks you like God
E B
You're always looking for a sign
F#m
But boy you blow it every time
C#m
You hear a voice begin to speak
B Am Em
You ignore it and go softly to sleep
Am Em
Softly to sleep
Am Em
Softly to sleep
Am Em
