The Beat Elvis Costello
[D]We're all [Bm]goin' on a S[G]ummer H[A]oliday
Vigilantes comin out to follow me
Heard somebody say they're out to collar me
Any body - wanna swallow me?
It takes [Bm]two to t[G]umble it takes t[A]wo to t[Bm]ango
[Bm]Speak up, dont m[G]umble if you're [A]in the c[Bm]ombo
[G] On the Beat[A], [Bm]on the b[G]eat, til a m[A]an-comes-along and [Bm]he says
Have you b[G]een a good [Em7]boy, never [G/D]played with your [G/B]toy [A]
Though you n[G]ever en[Em7]joy such a pl[G]easure to empl[D]oy-[E]y
S[D]ee yo[A]ur fr[E]iends in the state they're in
See your friends gettin under their skin
See your friends gettin taken in
Bm G A Bm ( x 2 )
Well if you only knew the things you do to me
I'll do anything to confuse the enemy
There's only one thing wrong with you befriending me
Take it easy, I think you're bending me
I've been a bad boy with the standard leader
My neighbour's revving up his Vauxhall Viva
On the beat, on the up-beat
See your friends...
Treat me like a stranger
despite all the arrangements
Nothing here has changed
Just the Beat
