[Verse 1]
C          Bb  G
I fucked up
                  C        C
I'm not the first to Do it
        G      G           C  C
Must forGo now, your smile
              Bb    G
Off the wall, beige
             C                C
I'm fixtures and fittings now
        G        G       C
Call me out, but call me


[Chorus]
               G
'Cause there's something down here
G
And it's livin' under the floorboards (Ah)
G
It's grabbed me 'round the neck
G
With its long and slender claws
           G
Ooh, don't leave me here, baby
C                 G       C
Don't leave me completely
         G
'Cause I might not get back to myself at all

Ah, oh, ah-ooh

St. Charles Square
              C       C
This year's migration
         G        G           C  C
Basement flat with window bars
           Bb   G
Pauli's outside
             C                    C
Spare me the gloaters and the pain
        G      G      C
I don't want it anymore


[Chorus]
               G
'Cause there's something down here
G
And it's livin' under the floorboards
G
It's up and down the clock
G
Of the town hall back in time
         G
Oh, I'll ride with you, baby
     C                G    C
I'll ride with you forever
       G
But we might not get back to ourselves at all, no


[Bridge]
N.C.
Tesco disco
    C                               Bb
The room is shrinking fast around me
   G                           C
It grabbed me by the ankle and pulled me under
C                            G
Loneliness, I've been here before
       G                        C
'Cause every generation has its gilded posers


[Outro]
G
Weird vibrations in the basement
G
I don't like this scene
G
Pauli's ghost come back to haunt me
G
Think I'm gonna
