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