Take A Look At Us Now

(from "Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile" soundtrack)

Capo: 4th fret

[Verse 1]
        Bm                       G
You can pack your bags and start skipping town
     A                    D          F#
Hang up your hat when the show shuts down
             Bm                   E
But when the world says you ain't quite world-renowned
      G         A
Don't count yourself out yet
F#
(La, la, la, la, la)
                  Bm        G
When you hit that lonely and lowest low
      A                 D       F#
Well, up's the only way left to go
       Bm                    E
You're meant to reinvent the show
   G         A       Bm
So ain't you glad we met?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          G              A
Turn that dull and dusty solo
     E   A      D
To a dazzling duet
D
La la la la
D
La la la la
D
La la la la
 
 
[Chorus 1]
         C              G
Maybe we started pretty small
                      D
But take a look at us now
                  A
Take a look at us now
         C                 G
Suddenly standing ten feet tall
                  D
Take a look at us now
                  A
Take a look at us now
          Bm            G
Though we had no way to stay afloat
        D                         A
We were scared and saying "That's all she wrote"
      C           G
We're ending on a sky-high note
E
Somehow
       G               A
Buddy, you were all it took
                     D
So take a look at us now
 
 
[Verse 2]
          Bm                   G
When that perfect plan's going off the rails
  A                  D
A heap of trouble is on our tails
     Bm             E7
It's time to polish up those scales
    G       A          D
And give it all you've got
          Bm
If you're out of step
          G
If you're out of sync
       A                        D
If you care too much what those critics think
      Bm                 E7
Well, when you find your missing link
      G         A      B
Don't give it a second thought
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
              Em            A
'Cause in the center of the spotlight
        Em         A         D
We just might have found our spot
 
 
[Chorus 2]
            C               G
Finding our luck with every leap
                  D
Take a look at us now
                  A
Take a look at us now
                  C                   G
The road could be scared, it could be steep
                  D
Take a look at us now
                  A
Take a look at us now
          Bm             G
Though we might be sunk upon at first glance
      D                        A
Well, who'd have thunk that we had a chance
    C               G
And life could be a song and dance
E7
Somehow
       G               A
Buddy, you were all it took
                     D
So take a look at us now
 
 
[Bridge]
   G                Gm
So even when you're terrified
     D
Just find a smile a mile wide
       E7
'Cause bud, when you and I collide
A                F#
Standing side by side
            Bm               G
We're gonna take a great big bow
          D                 B
Would you take a look at us now?
 
 
[Chorus 3]
          D               A
Give us a spotlight and a crowd
                  E   B
Take a look at us now
         D                 A
Ready to sing our song out loud
                  E   B
Take a look at us now
 
 
[Instrumental]
C#m A E B
D A F#m F#
 
 
[Outro]
          A      B
Won't you take a look at us
A      B
Take a look at us
A      B          E
Take a look at us now
