The Stars Of Track And Field

A               Em           G
Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs
A                Em              D
Kissing girls in English, at the back of the stairs
F                                   A
You're a honey, with a following of innocent boys
           D
They never know it
                  A
Because you never show it
                    E
You always get your way
A          D
They never know it
                  A
Because you never show it
                    E
You always get your way

[Verse]

A                     Em              G
Have you and her been taking pictures of your obsessions?
A               Em                   D
Because I met a boy who went through one of your sessions
F
In his blue velour and silk
        A
You liberated
              D
A boy I never rated
                      A
And now he's throwing discus
                     E
For Liverpool and Widnes
A       D
You liberated
              A
A boy I never rated
                   E
And now he's doing... business

[Chorus]

E
The stars of track and field, you are

The stars of track and field, you are
Em                               D
The stars of track and field are beautiful people

[Verse]

A               Em              G
Could I write a piece about you now that you've made it?
A               Em               D
About the hours spent, the wilderness in your training
F                       A
You only did it so that you could wear
           D
Your terry underwear
             A
And feel the city air
             E
Run past your body
A          D
Your terry underwear
             A
And feel the city air
             E
Run past your body

[Verse]

A               Em          G
Could I write a requiem for you when you're dead?
A                       Em                D
"She had the moves, she had the speed, it went to her head"
F
She never needed anyone
           A
to get her round the track
               D
But when she's on her back
            A
She had the knowledge
                E
To get her into college
A              D
But when she's on her back
            A
She had the knowledge
                E
To get her what she wanted

[Chorus]

E
The stars of track and field, you are

The stars of track and field are beautiful people
E
The stars of track and field, you are
                                 Em
The stars of track and field, you are
                                 D
The stars of track and field are beautiful people
