The Age Of The Understatement Chords

[Intro]
Bm    C#m    D    E     F#
 
[Verse]
Bm
Decided
To sneak up away from your stomach
And try your pulse
And captured
What seemed all unknowing and candid
             D                       F#
But they suspected it was false
Bm
She's playful
The boring would warn you be careful
Of her brigade
In order to tame this relentless marauder
           D                    F#
Move away from the parade
 
[Bridge 1]
                   A                       G                   Bm
And she was walking on the tables in the glass house
   A                  G                     Bm
Endearingly bedraggled in the wind
A                   G                   Bm
Subtle in her method of seduction
     D                                     F#
The twenty little tragedies begin
Bm
                       A                       G              Bm
And she would throw a feather boa in the road
        A                                 G          Bm
If she thought that it would set the scene
   A                        G                    Bm
Unfittingly dipped into your companions
   D                                       F#
Enlighten them to make you see
 
[Chorus]
                    Bm         C#m    D
And there's affection to rent
      E              F#
The age of the understatement
                  Bm             C#m        D     E
Before the attraction ferments
F#
Kiss me properly and pull me apart
 Bm           C#m  D  E              F#
Affection to rent the age of the understatement
                   Bm             C#m     D      E
Before this attraction ferments
F#
Kiss me properly and pull me apart
 
[Bridge 2]
G      F#      F#     Bm
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
            G                               F#
And my fingers scratch at my hair
                F#                        Bm
Before my mind can get too reckless
       G                          F#
The idea of seeing you here
       F#                                           Bm
Is enough to make the sweat grow cold
G      F#       F#      Bm
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
