White Collar Boy chords by Belle And Sebastian

D
You’re a white collar boy and you gave into the law
    G          D/F#         Em          D
Give in to the pressure the cops gonna getcha
D
You were a thieving dog at work until they caught your little paw
     G          D/F#        Dm/F        E7
Your wage won’t stretch, to picking up checks
  A                      D
A custodial sentence you narrowly avoided
B                     Em          Em7
Community service you had to go along with
       A
You’re banging the rocks at the old city docks
     D        C        G        A
Poor boy poor boy poor boy poor boy
     D        C        G        A
Poor boy poor boy poor boy poor boy

D
You were chained to a girl that would kill you with a look
    G          D/F#         Em          D
It’s a nice way to die she’s so easy on the eye
D
She said let’s get away, but you played it by the book
     G          D/F#        Dm/F        E7
You’re a warden’s pet, she’s a screaming suffragette
  A                      D
“We ain’t in prison, we’ll just finish up and go home”
B                     Em          Em7
She said, “Not for me, I’ve got plans for later on”
       A
So she belted the sarge and she jumped on a barge
     D        C        G        A
You fell, you fell you fell you fell
     D        C        G        A
You fell, you fell you fell you fell


G                 F
White collar, got dirt in your pants
        C
You got egg in your hair
        D#
You got spit in your chin

G             F            C
White collar, scared to be bored
G                  F       C
Blue Collar, she’s opening doors
G            F           C            D
White collar boy, on the run from the law

She said “You ain’t ugly, you can kiss me if you like”
    G          D/F#         Em          D
Go ahead and kiss her, you don’t know what you’re missing
D
You said “Baby, you’re special, but there’s something not quite right.”
     G          D/F#        Dm/F        E7
She’s a Venus in flares and you wanna split hairs!

“I am innocent, you are a rocket.
B                     Em          Em7
Things were ok till you took out the copper”
       A
Leave me alone, and get used to the chains
     D        C        G        A
You’re a pain, a pain, a pain, a pain
     D        C        G        A
You’re a pain, a pain, a pain, a pain
