Em
If you want me I'll be there
   G               D
A boy to deal with all your problems
      C           G
But part of the deal
C               G
Is for you to feel something
Em
If you want me look me up
   G             D
I don't exist in usual places
 C             G        D
Subtle as the wind is grey

Em                              G
If you want me you know where I am
           D           C
I saw your arms in a dream
                 G          C
And there were blue veins blue
  G
Blue veins

Em                              G
If you want me all you have to do
           D
Is ask a thousand questions
  C             G
Triplicate and file under
 B                                C         G
“Simple things you ask to make a young boy sigh”
   C         G
A young boy sigh
   C         G
A young boy sigh
   C         Em
A young boy sigh
