Real Late Starter by Nerina Pallot





             Real Late Starter






 
Bm
I woke up late today
E
Actually I do that everyday
Am
Got no place to be seen

I’m not part of a scene
G
I’m a genius loser
                                         Bm
Keeping counsel with my own opinion
                           E
President of the state that I’m in
               Am
Should I just stay in bed?
  
Should I live in my head?
     G
Oh God so many questions to ask

Oh you could call me lazy
I think of it as taking my time
‘Cos I don’t want to do what I don’t want to do
I’m the queen refusenik

[CHORUS]
         Bm                                                           E
But - oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
               C             G
But I’m a real late starter
            D                         A
So I’m making up for lost time
Bm                                                                E
Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
            C        G                  D           A
But I’m so polite – I do it all of the time
                   C            G
I missed my calling in life
Bm
Oh well.

Day by day I wonder
If I will be torn asunder
By these things that I know that nobody else knows
Or maybe it’s the drinking
I guess we should consult a Bible
Everybody needs a sign - or
Bless the birds and the bees
The flowers and trees
And blessed be the slacker

[CHORUS]
But - oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
But I’m a real late starter
So I’m making up for lost time
Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
But I’m so polite – I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life
       E                               G
And you must be having a laugh
 E                                    G
Oh God – you’re having a laugh
D                 Am             G
No point in worrying if my day´s a disaster
D               Am                  G
Inside my little head I’m happy ever after
         F#
Yes I am

[CHORUS]
Oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
But I’m a real late starter
So I’m making up for lost time
Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
But I’m so polite
I missed my calling in life

[CHORUS]
Oh my God – if I was somebody I’d be doing it all just fine
But I’m a real late starter
So I’m making up for lost time
Oh my God – if I was somebody you’d be kissing my arse right now
But I’m so polite – I do this all of the time
I missed my calling in life
Oooh – what of my life?
Yeah well.
