Twentysomething Jamie Cullum
One of my favorite of Cullum's songs, also the title of his second album.
[F#m] [D7] [F#m] [D7]
After y[F#m]ears of expensive edu[D7]cation,
A c[F#m]ar full of books and antici[G7]pation
I'm an e[F#m]xpert on Shakespeare and that's a [Em]hell of a lot.
But the w[C#mb6]orld don't need scholars as [C7#11]much as I thought.[F#m] [D7]
Mayb[F#m]e I'll go trav'ling [D7]for a year, f[F#m]inding myself,
Or s[G7]tart a career.
I could w[F#m]ork for the poor, though I'm [Em7]hungry for fame.
We[C#mb6] all seem so diff'rent but[C7#11] we're just the same.
Mayb[F#m]e go to the gym so I do[D7]n't get fat.
Aren't t[F#m]hings more easy with a tight[G7] six pack?
[F#m]Who knows the answers, [Em7]who do you trust?
I [C#mb6]can't even separate [C7#11]love from lust.
Mayb[F#m]e move back home and pay o[D7]ff my loans,
Working n[F#m]ine to five, [G7]answering phones.
[F#m]Don't make me live for my [Em7]friday nights,
[C#mb6]Drinking eight pints and g[C7#11]etting in fights.
[F#m] [D7] [F#m] [D7] [F#m] [D7] [F#m] [D7] [F#m] [D7]
I don't w[F#m]ant to get up, just [Em7]let me lie in;
[C#mb6]Leave me alone, I'm a twenty-some[C7#11]thing. [Bmaj7]
Maybe I'll just [F#maj7]fall in love.
[Bmaj7]That could solve it all.[F#maj7]
Phi[Bmaj7]losophers says that [F#maj7]that's enough.
Dmaj7 C#aug7
There surely must be more.. oooo...
[F#m] [D9] [F#m]
Love ain't the answer, [D7]nor is work.
The t[F#m]ruth eludes me so much it h[G7]urts.
But I'm s[F#m]till having fun and I g[Em7]uess that's the key.
I'm a [C#mb6]twentysomething and I'll [C7#11]keep being me.
[F#m]Do do and do do and do and do do do do[D9]
Do and do do and do and do do do do[F#m]
Do and do do and do and do do do do[D9]
Do and do do and do and do do do do[F#m]
Do and do do and do and do do do do[D9]
Do and do do and do and do do [G7]do.
