Biography:
Del Amitri are a guitar-driven pop rock band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980, internationally known for the 1995 melodic rock hit "Roll to Me". They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name.

Intro
Dm - C - G - F -
Dm - C - G - A7
Dm C
Don't get so dis - tressed
G F
If the good life won't ar - rive
Dm C
You've been seeing S.O.S.
F G
When it's just your clock reading 5:05
Dm - C - G - A7
Dm C
And why are you so pos - sessed
G F
By the thought that she got free
Dm C
And why are you figuring who's the best
F G
When just your luck ran out and she chose me
Chorus:
A7
We do not lie side by side
Gmaj7
and mock the thought of you
A
And I don't take her hand and ask
Gmaj7
Is this what he used to do
A
'Cos I just want to free her from
G
Your jails of jealous dreams
Dm7 /
'Cos at least
Dm7/C / Gi /
a house when it's empty
F / Dm C - G -
Stays clean
F Dm C G - A7
Sta - ys cle - an
Dm C
And I won't pre - tend
G F
That I was simply swayed
Dm
It was a two way thing
C
Not a three day fling
F G
No secrets kept, no truth betrayed
Dm C
And here's the house that held
G F
The nightmare that went on
Dm C
And you're sitting there wishing you'd never been born
F G
With that self-inflicted crown of thorns
Chorus:
A7
We do not lie side by side
Gmaj7
and mock the thought of you
A
And I don't take her hand and ask
Gmaj7
Is this what he used to do
A
'Cos I just want to free her from
G
Your jails of jealous dreams
Dm7 /
'Cos at least
Dm7/C / Gi /
a house when it's empty
F / Dm
Stays clean
Break:
F C G
And I won't pre - tend
F
That I'm the saviour of the
C G
innocent and bad
F C
But put two withered old blooms
G
in a couple of rooms
F
And they'll be - have like
C
lunatics
G Dm
and crave what makes them sad
C - G - F -
Dm - C - G - A7
Dm - C - G - F -
Dm - C - G - A7
Dm C
So here's a card that says
G F
Happy twenty-second birthday and I wish you were dead
Dm C
And here's a house that held
F G
a bevy of devils and an angel as well
Dm C
And you want what I've got
G F
When all I've got is guilt
Dm C
And a room that won't stay sti- ll
F
Filled with pockets full of crumpled up money and
G
a mantelpiece littered with bills
Outro:
Dm7 /
'Cos at least
Dm7/C / Gi /
a house when it's empty
Dm7 /
Yeah at least
Dm7/C / Gi /
a house when it's empty
Dm7 /
Yeah at least
Dm7/C / Gi /
a house when it's empty
Dm
is clean//
