Tom : Am
Am C
Put a ribbon round my neck and call me a libertine
F E
I will sing you songs of dreams I used to dream
Am C
I will sail away on seas of silver and gold
F E
Until I reach my home
Am C
Give me a guitar and I'll be your troubadour
F E
Your strolling minstrel 12th century door to door
Am C F
I don't know anymore, if that feeling is past will it last
E
Oh, how can you be sure?
[Pre-Chorus]
F E Am
And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?
F E Am
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?
[Verse 2] Am C F E
Give me a stage and I'll be your rock and roll queen
Your 20th century cover of a magazine
Rolling Stone here I come, watch out everyone, I'm singing
I'm singing my song
Give me a festival and I'll be your Glastonbury star
The lights are shining everyone knows who you are
Singing songs about dreams about hopes about schemes
Ooooh, they just came true
[Pre-Chorus] (2x)
F E Am
And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?
F E Am
And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?
[Instrumental] C F C E (2x)
[Chorus]
F E
And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do:
Am
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
C
Let's start a band
Let's start a band
