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.

So who was first
A Bm7
Obviously not me
A Bm7
She's locked up in - side herself
A Bm7
And I can't get anything free
A Bm7
So won't somebody tell me please
E Bm7 A
Why the former owner al - ways keeps the keys
Bm7
There's no bubbles to burst
A Bm7
No bursting out crying nor dying of thirst
A Bm7
She's utterly tied to somebody else
A Bm7
And it seems he got there first
A Bm7
And no, I'm not un - tying
A Bm7
The reins around her neck that she feels
A Bm7
And I won't try to prise out of her the truth anymore
A Bm7
When she lies about the things that she sees
E Bm7 Bm6
Because the former owner al - ways keeps the keys

And it's i - ronic that he promised you

he'd never let you go
A Bm7
When he's left you used-up and dis - turbed
A Bm7
And I said Just as the early bird catches the worm
A Bm7
The early cat catches the bird
