It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career Belle and Sebastian
He had a stroke at the ag[E]e of 24[A]
It co[A]uld have been a brilliant ca[E]reer
Painting [C#m]lines in a s[B]chool that was too well k[A]nown
Painting [C#m]lines with a fr[B]iend that had gone bef[A]ore
She chall[E]enged everyo[B]ne to a fight
But the pr[A]efects a[E]ll backed d[B]own
And they r[A]an her o[E]ut of to[B]wn
Cause she d[A]rank and s[E]wore and s[B]poke
Out of t[A]urn, she w[E]as the vi[F#]llage joke
She had a s[E]troke at the age of 2[A]4
It co[A]uld have been a brilliant ca[E]reer
Getting cl[C#m]ients to fin[B]ance her stra[A]tegies
Filling t[C#m]ime in on Saf[B]eways on Satu[A]rday
She wears [E]the clothes of [B]an emperor
But her pa[A]intings a[E]re a s[B]ham
And they're go[A]ing fo[E]r a g[B]rand
When the de[A]alers c[E]ome to v[B]iew
Do they e[A]ver se[E]e the real[F#] you?
He had a s[E]troke at the age of 2[A]4
It c[A]ould have been a brilliant car[E]eer
Selling l[C#m]ies to the bo[B]ys with the old D[A]ansettes
Pulling the [C#m]wool, playing the f[B]ool, it's no wo[A]nder that
He is dribbling spit to[B]night
And the o[A]ne he s[E]ent aw[B]ay
Was the o[A]nly on[E]e who s[B]tayed
With a s[A]poon and a de[E]cent b[B]ook
And you can t[A]ell by the w[E]ay she l[B]ooks
he is so[A]rry a[E]nd res[B]igned
As he w[A]ets hi[E]mself for the [F#]final time
