Despair In The Departure Lounge by Alex Turner
D F#m Em A7
D F#m
He's pining for her in a people carrier
Em
There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that
A7
But architecture won't do
D
Although it might say a lot about the city or town
F#m
I don't care what they've got, keep turning them down
Em
It doesn't say the funny things she does
A7 D
Don't even try and cheer him up because it just won't happen.
D F#m Em A7
D F#m
He's got the feeling again, this time on the aeroplane
Em
There might be tellys in back of the seats in front
A7
But Rodney and Del won't do
D
Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains
F#m
Laugh when he falls through the bar, but you're feeling the same
Em
'Cause she isn't there to hold your hand
A7
She won't be waiting for you when you land
Bm G
It feels like she's just nowhere near
Bm G
You could well be out on your ear
Bm E
This thought comes closely followed by the fear
G F#m
And the thought of it
Em A7
Makes you feel a bit… ill
D F#m Em A7 (x2)
(instrumental solo)
D F#m Em
Yesterday I saw a girl who looks like someone you might knock about with
A7
And almost shouted
D F#m
And then reality kicked in within us, it seems as we become the winners
Em A7
You lose a bit of summat, and half wonder if you won at all
Bm G
And don't say owt, 'cause you've got no idea
Bm G
And she's still nowhere near
Bm E
And this thought comes closely followed by the fear
G F#m
And the thought of it
Em A7
Makes you feel a bit… ill
D Em
Despair in the departure lounge
F#m G F#m Em
It's one and they'll still be around at three
A7
No signal and low battery
(chord rings and fades out)
What's happened to me?
