ARCTIC MONKEYS – SECRET DOOR

Intro]
G Gmaj7 x2

G Cm Em
Fools on parade cavort and carry on
Bm
For waiting eyes
Am Bm
Ones you would rather be beside than in front of
Am Bm
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares

[Instrumental]
Em Bm G D x4

[Verse]
Em Bm G D
She swam out of tonight's phantasm
Em Bm G D Em Bm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
G D Em Bm G D
There's absolutely nothing for us here
Em Bm
It's a magnolia celebration
G D
To be attended on a Wednesday night
Em Bm
It's better that than get a reputation
G D
As a miserable little tyke
Em Bm
At least that's the conclusion
G D Em Bm G
She came to in this overture

Em G Bm

[Chorus]
Bm Em
The secret door swings behind us
Am
She's saying nothing
G Bm
She's just giggling along

[Verse]
Em Bm G D
Her arms were folded most indignant
Em Bm G D Em Bm
Not looking like she was soon to leave
G D Em Bm G D
I had to squint in order to believe
Em Bm
And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf
G D
And unveiling the unexpected
Em Bm G D
I who was earlier reluctant was suddenly embarrassed and corrected.
Em Bm G D Em Bm G
How could such a creature survive in such a habitat?
Em G Bm

[Chorus]
Bm Em
The secret door swings behind us
Am
She's saying nothing
Em
She's just giggling along
Bm Em
Even if they were to find us
Am Bm D
I wouldn't notice, I'm completely occupied

[Outro]
G Cm
At all the fools on parade
Em Bm
Cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
Am Bm
Ones you would rather be beside than in front of
Am
But she's never been the kind
D
To be hollowed by the stares
G Cm Em
Fools on parade frolic and fuck about
Bm Am Bm
To make a gaze turn to a scribble on a page by a picture
Am
That holds her absence
D
But you're daft to think she'd care
G Cm Em Bm
Fools on parade
Am Bm Am D
Fools on parade
G Cm
Fools on parade
Em Bm Am Bm Am D
Conduct a sing-along

Em D C B7

[Verse]

Em D C
You got the lights on in the afternoon
B7 Em
And the nights are drawn out long
D C
And you're kissing to cut through the gloom
B7 Em
With a cough drop coloured tongue
D C
You were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
B7 Em
And I thought you might be mine
D C
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
B7
In the right place and time

[Chorus]

Em D
When the zeros line up on the twenty four hour clock
C B7
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
 Em D
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
C B7
And your knee socks

[Verse]

Em D C
Well, you cured my January blues,
B7 Em
yeah, you made it all alright
D C
I got a feeling I might've lit the very fuse
B7 Em
that you were trying not to light
D C
You were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew
B7 Em
Cause I had nothing to lose
D C
When the winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true
B7
Ain't it funny what you'll do?

[Chorus]

Em D
When the zeros line up on the twenty four hour clock
C B7
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
Em D
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
C B7
And your knee socks

[Bridge]

Am C
In late afternoon, the ghost in your room
Em D
That you always thought didn't approve of you knocking boots
C B7
Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot
Em
By the scruff of your knee socks

Em
You and me could've been a team
Each had a half of a king-and-queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets you could Be My Baby

(The zeros lined up but the number's blocked)

(When you've come undone)

[Chorus]
 Em D
When the zeros line up on the twenty four hour clock
C B7
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
Em D
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
C B7
And your knee socks

Em D
When the zeros line up on the twenty four hour clock
C B7
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
Em D
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
C B7
And your knee socks

[Intro/Chorus 1]

Bbm Ab
Boo, I need you around
Gb
The pressures getting way too heavy now
Gb Ab
And you should know that I'm not ready (no)
Bbm Ab
Not good at being alone
Gb
I know you know that I am empty now
Gb Ab
Getting to sleep so very rarely now
Bbm Ab
We on different paths
Gb
I've known that for some time
Gb Ab
Girl this shit's so sad and it's like every night
Bbm Ab
This home just ain't a home
Gb
I know you broke my heart so gently
Gb Ab
How does missing you just feel unhealthy now?

[Verse 1]
Bbm
I could be chillin'
Ab
With a girl that inspires inner brilliance
Gb
Now she's off on her own in the distance
Gb
I can't hit her on the phone for assistance
Ab
Though I've been wishing
Bbm
This could be different
 Ab
I ain't got time to be ignant
Gb
But I can't cut you off like Vincent
Gb
So I try my best to keep distant
Ab
Fight off the system
Bbm
That makes me the victim (uh)
Ab
It's like a fall of a kingdom
Gb
Held it up but its now just a prison
Gb
I can't leave my house without missing
Ab
All of our visions
Bbm
This is a sickness
Ab
Or am I just a witness
Gb
Or could I put an end to this business
Gb
Tie my shoes and walk out of this stillness
Ab
Ain't got the fitness (no)

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Bbm Ab
I don't need a lot
Gb
I just want the best now
Gb
This been at my neck now
Ab
I've been feeling low

Hate the way it's gone
Gb
My life's such a mess now
Gb
Can't deal with the stress now
Ab
I've been feeling...

[Verse 2]

Bbm Ab
Bottling up all of my own soul
Gb
Getting over it (I don't know)

Imma be straight
Gb
This ain't been great
Ab
It feels like I'm dying but it's so slow
Bbm Ab
Waking me up with that "morning boo"
Gb
Thinkin' 'bout that and I feel so blue

Maybe I'll wait

Gb
And this is just fate
Ab
Or am I just sitting in my own tomb?
Bbm
This ain't my life
Ab
And it's not right
Gb
I'm thinkin' 'bout you all of my night

I wanna catch flights

Gb
But I don't like
Ab
The fear to fall or what that ignites
Bbm
You were type
Ab
Not one of my stripes
Gb
I think of you and I get good vibes
Gb Ab
At least before you went of out of sight (yeah)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
