[Verse 1]
G          Bb  A
I fucked up
                  D        G
I'm not the first to do it
        E      A           D  G
Must forgo now, your smile
              Bb    A
Off the wall, beige
             D                G
I'm fixtures and fittings now
        E        A       D
Call me out, but call me
 
 
[Chorus]
               E
'Cause there's something down here
E
And it's livin' under the floorboards (Ah)
E
It's grabbed me 'round the neck
E
With its long and slender claws
           A
Ooh, don't leave me here, baby
D                 A       D
Don't leave me completely
         E
'Cause I might not get back to myself at all
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
E   N.C.   G Bb  A  D
Ah, oh, ah-ooh
G  E  A  D  G
Ah

St. Charles Square
              D       G
This year's migration
         E        A           D  G
Basement flat with window bars
           Bb   A
Pauli's outside
             D                    G
Spare me the gloaters and the pain
        E      A      D
I don't want it anymore
 
 
[Chorus]
               E
'Cause there's something down here
E
And it's livin' under the floorboards
E
It's up and down the clock
E
Of the town hall back in time
         A
Oh, I'll ride with you, baby
     D                A    D
I'll ride with you forever
       E
But we might not get back to ourselves at all, no
 
 
[Bridge]
N.C.
Tesco disco
    G                               Bb
The room is shrinking fast around me
   A                           D
It grabbed me by the ankle and pulled me under
G                            E
Loneliness, I've been here before
       A                        D
'Cause every generation has its gilded posers
 
 
[Outro]
E
Weird vibrations in the basement
E
I don't like this scene
E
Pauli's ghost come back to haunt me
E
Think I'm gonna
