B E
Sit by my window and look outside
A G#m E
Wonder why a sun don't shine on me
B E
What's wrong with you, you stupid child
A G#m C#
Don't you think that I'm the one you're waiting to see
F# B
Don't talk too much cause she falls for the soft touch
D E
Makes her feel everything is secure
G A D
Don't ever leave a footprint on the floor

CHORUS
D Bm G
Don't bother with the local girls
D Bm G
Don't bother with the local girls
D Bm G G A
Don't bother with the local girls

B E
She's probably halfwit she must be straight
A G#m E
Bound to have a mother who knows nothing but hate
B E
Don't want to laugh I'd rather knock her down
A G#m C#
Standing at the bus stop where she waits each morning
F# B
So isolated that she thinks that the army
D E
Is the place where a man oughta be
G A D
Don't bother with them they don't bother me

REPEAT CHORUS (plus)
D G
Don't bother with the.... local girls

BRIDGE
A G A G
They got the walk they got the talk Right down without a flaw
A G G A D
At six o'clock I got to stop My dreaming at the counter of the store
D Bm G D Bm G
Don't bother with them
D Bm G G A

B E
Without a doubt I gotta intercept
A G#m E
Must be time someone went shouted in their ear
B E
You look all right in that cheap green dress
A G#m C#
But every time you swish it round you make me disappear
F# B
Yes I'm aware of exactly what I'm doing
D E
Making everything a mystery,
G A D
Don't bother with it, it don't bother me

CHORUS

(3 times) and fade
