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)

(Spoken :) On a night like this I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice
