Am7 E Dm7
Am7 E Dm7
Am7

Verse:
   E              Dm7
I canʼt quite explain
                Am7
This hole in my brain, that’s come around again
     E              Dm7
The West Hampstead Reds
           Am7                   E
Send me to bed and head off out again
                      Dm7
Some things have to change
                     Am7
Some things are to blame
                   E
For almost everything
                   Dm7
Some boys grow in shame

Pre-chorus:
                 Am7
Donʼt play that game

Chorus:
          E              Dm7
ʼCause I want you to believe
                 Am7
Youʼre just like me
   E              Dm7
I want you to believe
              Am7
Youʼre just like me
   E              Dm7
I want you to be free
       Am7
To be happy
    E            Dm7
I want you to believe (I want you, I want you to)
               Am7
Youʼre just like me (I want you to)

Verse:
E                            Dm7
  Just another California tongue
          Am7
Prove me wrong
                                E
But I think they all sound the same
                                Dm7
It doesnʼt matter where youʼre from
             Am7   E
Talking that way, now
                        Dm7
Listen to the elevator hum
          Am7                    E
The mechanism is breaking down again
                   Dm7
Donʼt you tell my mum

Pre-chorus:
                 Am7
Donʼt play that game

   E              Dm7
I want you to believe
              Am7
Youʼre just like me
   E              Dm7
I want you to be free
       Am7
To be happy
    E            Dm7
I want you to believe
              Am7
Youʼre just like me
