VERSE 1:
D                    Bm    Amaj7
I’ve nothing much to offer,
                       Ebdim7 F#7b9
Theres nothing much to take.
G                 D      C
I’m an absolute beginner,
                   Bm    Em7 A
And I’m absolutely sane.
D                  Bm7    Amaj7
As long as were together,
                   Ebdim7 F#7b9
The rest can go to hell.

             D              F#
With eyes completely open,
                    A   Asus4
But nervous all the same

A      D
If our love song,
               G
Could fly over mountains.
                   Bm
Could laugh at the ocean,
              F#7
Just like the films.
Asus4   A  D
There’s no reason,
                G
To feel all the hard times.
                Bm
To lay down the hard lines,
                A
It’s absolutely true.

With nothing much at stake.
D                       Bm7     Amaj7
As long as you’re still smiling,

There’s nothing more I need.

Just like the films.
Asus4   A       D
If      there’s reason,
                G
To feel all the hard times.

To lay down the hard lines,

It’s absolutely true.

NOTES.
1.  “…The sessions, at Abbey Road Studios, were set up in a novel way, with a group of session musicians
all receiving a card to work at the studio with "Mr X", who turned out to be Bowie. The sessions were
completed rapidly, but the song was delayed due to the problems with completing the film. Virgin
wanted the release to tie in with the film's opening. …”

2.  “…This features former Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman on piano. … Contrary to popular belief,
Kate Bush does not sing backing vocals on this track. You are actually hearing 22 year old Janet Armstrong.
This was Armstrong's first-ever professional studio session - rather ironic considering the song title!…”

3.  “…Absolute Beginners: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was concurrently released to promote
the film. Aside from the plethora of music from contributing artists, the musical score was composed
by Gil Evans. David Bowie's title track, Ray Davies' "Quiet Life" and the Style Council's songs were
released as singles. …”

He can be seen on the official ‘Fashion’ video. …”  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._E._Smith
