Boomtown Rats - Someone?s looking at you  (1979)


Acoustic :  C majorC - G+G - C majorC - G+G (2x)
Electric :  C majorC - G+G - C majorC - G+G (2x) + C majorC - G+G - C majorC - G+G

    C majorC
1. On a night like this I deserve to get kissed
       G+G
  At least once or twice,
       C majorC
  You come over to my place screaming blue murder,
      G+G
  Needing some place to hide.
      C majorC
  Well, I wish you'd keep quiet, imaginations run riot
       G+G
  In these paper-thin walls,
         C majorC
  And when the place comes ablaze with a thousand dropped names.
         G+G
  I don't know who to call.

        B minorBm
  But I got a friend over there in the government block,
      C majorC
  And he knows the situation and he's taking stock,
        D MajorD                              C majorC
  I think I'll call him up now, put him on the spot, tonight.

  G+G      - C majorC - G+G
    Na na ?      Na na ?.

        C majorC
2. They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off
     G+G
  About saving some fish,
       C majorC
  Now could that be construed as some radical's views
      G+G
  Or some liberals' wish.
      B minorBm
  And it's so hot outside, and the air is so sweet,
         C majorC
  And when the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak,
          D MajorD
  You know most killing is committed at 90 degrees,
       D7D7
  When it's too hot to breathe and it's too hot to think.

              G+G              C majorC    D MajorD
Chorus:  There's always someone looking at you, oh oh oh oh oh. (3x)
      FF                C majorC
      Tonight, they?re looking at you tonight.

Music Break :   FF - C majorC - FF - C majorC   - B minorBm - C majorC - D MajorD - D7D7    - C majorC

       G+G
3. And I wish you'd stop whispering,
  C majorC             - G+G
  Don?t flatter yourself,     nobody's listening.
      C majorC                 G+G
  But it makes me nervous, those things you say,
          C majorC
  You may as well shout it from the roof,
                  G+G
  Scream it from your lungs, and spit it from you mouth,
       C majorC
  It could fall on deaf ears to indulge in your fears.
       D MajorD
  There's a spy in the sky, there's a noise on the wire,
       D7D7
  There?s a tap on the line for every paranoid's desire.

             [G+G               C majorC    D MajorD
Chorus:  There's always someone looking at you, oh oh oh oh oh. (2x)
             - G+G          - C majorC - D MajorD    - C majorC
      They?re always    looking at you.      (7x)
