Our Old Centre Back

       D                         A
I can see your silhouette from 
      E
where I sit
     A           E                
Not all of your garden lights are 
   D      E
properly lit
     D                          A 
Now, I was the one supposed to go 
       E
on the attack
 A               E                
You were in the house with our old
  D      E
 centre back
 D                           A 
He learned the secrets of a good 
         E
sales pitch
    A       E                 D  
My sources tell me that he's 
    E
filthy rich
        D                        
You mistook me for the painter at 
       A      E
the private view
       A        E          
I was merely standing in the 
    D        E
champagne queue


[Chorus 1]
        C#m                      
But if you think I look good in a 
   F#m
beret
      D      A         D    A
Then I'd be more than happy

To be there and to get the chance

That art just imitates football

[Verse 2]
              D           A       
Now, from my view here behind the 
  E
tree
     A         E           D     
It's easy to see why it's him and
      E
 not me
   D                  A           
A towering figure projected on the
   E
 shade
     A      E           D       E
Our centre back he was never afraid
     D                      A   
Now, I was never much of a number 
   E
nine
         A                E       
And I thought I was too bright for
        D      E
 the assembly line
        D                        
You mistook me for the painter at 
       A      E
the private view
       A       E             D   
I was merely standing in the 
     E
alcohol queue


[Chorus 2]
        C#m                      
But if you think I look good in a 
   F#m
beret
      D      A         D    A
Then I'd be more than happy
       C#m                         
To be there and to get the chance 
  F#m
to say
     Bm                 E   D    
That life just imitates football
