Someone's Looking At You - Boomtown Rats
(Bob Geldoff)
Intro:
(acoustic)
E B
E B
Na na nana nana na (X3)
(electric)
E B
Na na nana nana na (X2)
E B
On a night like this I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice.
E B
You come over to my place screaming blue murder, needing someplace to hide.
E B
Well, I wish you'd keep quiet. Imaginations run riot in these paper-thin walls.
E B
And when the place comes ablaze with a thousand dropped names I don't know who to call.
Eb
But I got a friend over there in the government block
E
And he knows the situation and he's taking stock.
F#
I think I'll call him up now
F#7
Gonna put him on the spot, tonight.
(Repeat electric Intro)
E B
They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off about saving some fish.
E B
Now, could that be construed as some radicals' views or some liberals' wish.
Eb
Oh it's so hot outside and the air is so sweet.
E
And when the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak.
F#
You know most killing is committed at 90 degrees.
F#7
When it's too hot to breathe and it's too hot to think.
Chorus:
B E F#
There's always someone looking at you. Uh oh uh oh
B E F#
S-s-s-someone looking at you. Uh oh uh oh
B E F#
They're always looking at you. Uh oh uh oh
Refrain:
A
Tonight
E
They're looking at you tonight.
A E x2
(organ solo)
Eb E F# F#7 E (hold)
(guitar solo)
B
And I wish you'd stop whispering.
E B
Don't flatter yourself, nobody's listening.
E B
But it makes me nervous, those things you say.
E B
You may as well shout it from the roof, scream it from your lungs, and spit it from your mouth.
E
Hey, if you fall on deaf ears to indulge all your fears
F#
There's a spy in the sky. There's a noise on the wire.
F#7
There's a tap on the line. And for every paranoid's desire.
Repeat Chorus:
Coda:
E F# B
They're always looking at ya.
E F# B (x6)
They're always looking at ya.
E (hold)
On a night like this I deserve to get kissed at least once or twice.
