"They Decided Not To Like Us"
by Hawksley Workman
First submission! I played with the record and it sounded quite accurate. Sounded great
for me to just play and sing along.

Capo 2
D F#m
Nudie pictures on your mobile phone
Bm
Forgotten in the back of a cab
Em
You were just goin' home
G
You were too drunk to know
D
And you'll wake up at 7:00
F#m
With your guts in a knot
Bm
Wonderin' if the world has seen
Em
All the close-ups you took
G
That you texted to me
Em
And you're avoidin' the gaze
G
Of coppers on the corner
Em
You feel messed up
G D
And you tell yourself you're gonna change
Em F#m G
Yeah, yeah-eh-eh
D
You're gonna change
Em F#m G
Yeah, yeah-eh-eh
D
You've been thinkin' awhile
F#m
That you've got to slow it down
Bm
Do what a better person would do
Em
Get a hobby instead
G
Of sleeping in 'til noon
D
And you carry out the empties
F#m
To the curb in the dark
Bm
Embarrassed that the neighbours will see
Em
What you do in your home
G
When you're feeling all alone
Em
And you were countin' the ways
G
You think you'd disappoint me
Em
You feel messed up
G D
And you tell yourself you're gonna change
Em F#m G
Yeah, yeah-eh-eh,
D
You're gonna change
Em F#m G
Yeah, yeah-eh-eh
Em G
The whole world's turned so self-righteous
Em G
Even though are hearts are true
D Em
They decided not to like us
F#m G
They've decided not to like people like us
D Em
They decided not to like us
F#m G
They've decided not to like people like us
Em
And all the Jesus freaks
G
Are first to point the finger
Em
They say they hate the song
G
But they don't mind the singer
Em
We're just two friends
G
That ended up as lovers
Em
We hide each others secrets
G
Just like all the others
D Em
Oooh-oh-oh-oh
F#m G
They decided not to like us
D Em
They decided not to like people like us
F#m G
They decided not to like us
D Em
Well they decided not to like us
F#m G
They decided not to like people like us
D Em
They decided not to like us
F#m G
They decided not to like people like us
D Em
They've decided not like to people like us
F#m
People like us
G
Like us
