Bide Your Time Tab

by The Courteeners


Intro:        x2

                        
The temptation is all to great
                              
And now its gone and its all to late
                                
I tried and I tried but I never applied
                              
Any of the morals that I wish I had

(Same structure for verses)

You wait 50 whole weeks
Through all of your hides and all of your seeks
When the time finally arrives
It dawns on me that your attention derives
  
From the girlfriend that you left at home
  
Sitting in the living room all alone


              
You hate the suntan
                                              
And you cant stand to be around the short sleeved man
                                           
And the gaggle of girls that are singing too loud
             
Because they do my head in
                                 
You hate the tattoos and you cant handle the skinheads
                  
The ones who cannot handle their booze
                                    
They're making you scared to be proud
                       
Why's that not allowed

(Same chord pattern)

If you bide your time and you stand there and you wait in line
It wont be long before her sarong is lying on your bedroom floor
But what about the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in the living room all alone

You hate the suntan
And you cant stand to be around the short sleeved man
And the groups of girls who are singing dead loud
Because they do my head in
You hate the tattoos and you cant handle the skinheads
The ones who cannot handle their booze
They're making you scared to be proud

From the girlfriend that you left at home
Sitting in the living room all alone
You hate the suntan
And you cant stand to be around the short sleeved man
And the gaggle of girls who are singing too loud
Because they do my head in
You hate the tattoos and you cant handle the skinheads
The ones who cannot handle their booze
And they're making you scared to be proud
Why is that not allowed
