Settle Down by The 1975
Settle Down
Capo on 2nd fret!
Intro: F G Em Am
(F G Em Am)<---you can also play a G after the Am if you would like to.
A soft sound
To the way that she wears her hair down
Covering up her face.
Oh what a let down,
And I don't seem to be having any effect now
Falling all over the place.
F
But you're losing your words
G
We're speaking in bodies
Em Am (G)
Avoiding me and talking 'bout you.
F
You're losing your turn
G
I guess I'll never learn
Em Am <---strum once
Cause I stay another hour or two.
Am, G <---strum both once
F G Em Am
For crying out loud, settle down!
You know I can't be found with you
We get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you.
(F G Em Am repeats throughout just like above)
Rest of the lyrics:
A small town
Dictating all the people we get around
What a familiar face.
Do you get what I mean now?
I'm so fixated on the girl with the soft sound
And hair all over the place.
And you're sure that I'd learn
I'm pushing through bodies
Avoiding me and walking 'round you.
And you're cold and I burn
I guess I'll never learn
Cause I stay another hour or two.
For crying out loud, settle down!
You know I can't be found with you
We get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you.
A soft sound
And to the way she wears her hair down
Covering up her face.
Oh what a let down,
I don't seem to be having any effect now
Falling all over the place.
And you're sure that I'd learn
We're speaking in bodies
Avoiding me and talking 'bout you.
And you're sure that I'd learn
I guess I'll never learn
Cause I stay another hour or two.
For crying out loud, settle down!
You know I can't be found with you
We get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you.
For crying out loud!
