Squeeze - Discipline

From the Some Fantastic Place CD single. Gorgeous song - shame it didn't feature on the
Some Fantastic
Place album.
[Intro]
C G | Bb F | Bb F | C G |
[Verse 1]
C G Bb F
Discipli--ine, hanging on by a drawing pin
Bb F
Can't seem to plan anything
C G
These days without a script
C G Bb F
Discipli--ine, finds me in the state I'm in
Bb F G
I can't lose, I can't win these days
[Chorus 1]
G Eb C Bb
When time will drip in-to a great big bowl
D G
that then gets mixed
Em G
like the ingredients of a cake
C Bb D Cm
I find myself so trans-fixed on the time
Bb F Am
that it's going to take to bake
[Verse 3]
Discipli--ine, I wish I could shed my skin
Find another to get in these days without a shape
Discipli--ine, could be to me my everything
Be the bell that I will ring these days
[Chorus 2]
Eb
When life slips like a plate
C Bb D G
Fate is just the fence I'm leaning on
Em G
Nothing to do all day
Eb Cm Bb D Cm
What will I do when the fence is gone
Bb F Am
Will I get blown a-way, some day?
[Verse 4]
Discipli--ine, could give me the very thing
That the bee gives with its sting
These days when success is shy
Discipli--ine, put my heart into a sling
Bury my head beneath your wing
These days
[Chorus]
G Eb Cm
That seem to fly, temper the tongue
Bb D G
That wags just like a tail
Em Abm
That will in turn wag the dog
Eb Cm Bb D Cm
How far can I go from be-yond the pale
Bb F Am
Before I fall from the log, ho hog
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
Discipli--ine, wound up like a bedstead spring
Taking each day as it begins
These days I can't complain
Discipli--ine, could be to me my everything
Be the bell that I will ring these days
Em
When life spins like a plate
Cm Bb D G
Fate is just the fence I'm leaning on
Em G
Having nothing to do all day
Eb Cm Eb D Cm
What will I do when the fence is gone
Bb F Am
Will I get blown a-way, some day?
C G Bb F Bb F G
Discipli--ine, ooooh....oooooh
C G Bb F Bb F G
Discipline, ooooh....oooooh
[Outro]
Eb Cm | Bb Dm | G | G | [x2]
