  D5                    E5      A5
Kick, you know you're still a kid
           D5        E5        A5
And your diets too full of additives.
  D5                E5          A5            F#5
Passed out on the couch with ashes in your mouth
   B5                            E5
Dreaming that you're hopping the fence.
       D5                E5       A5
This world must have it out for you
          D5           E5           A5
From the shores of Montauk up to Malibu.
      D5             E5             A5           F#5
The trappings of a name that you never could escape,
        B5                       E5
These people want to live in the past.
       B5                       E5
Some golden age that they never had.

B5                   
I thought we lost that Camelot
E5
I thought we lost that Camelot
A5
Some children story we forgot,
F5 *           B5   E5
Grew old so long ago.


  D5               E5      A5
Kick its hard to make a friend
       D5                 E5        A5
In a world that's this cruel and partisan.
     D5                E5           A5            F#5
But you should go in style to Stockholm for a while,
  B5                   E5
Live outside oblivions lense.

   D5                    E5     A5
Someday you'll have a fine divorce,
       D5        E5       A5
and a cemetery plot in Hyannisport.
      D5                   E5              A5       F#5
Next time you close your eyes on that helicopter ride,
    B5                        E5
I hope you see it isn't your fault.
    B5                        E5
I hope you know it isn't your fault.

B5
I thought we shot that Camelot
E5
I thought they shot that Camelot
A5
Whoever shot this movie stop
F5 *               B5         E5
B wrote; said the show must go.        - This line is probably the most wrong


FILL: A        A?(finger on B-string up to the 3rd fret)

 A5
Lying in the office on an old chaise-lounge
 B5
Listening to the doctor drone.
 D5                                D5
No therapeutic feeling once the shock wears's off,
 A5                   E5
Answer every question 'no'.

 A5
Hiding in the hammock with the shades pulled down
 B5
Wondering if the story's broke.
  D5                        D5
Tragedy is profit once the word gets out,
  A5                     E5
Tabloids at the country store.


 A5
Searching on the tables once the bar's closed down,
 B5
said somebody stole your phone.
 D5                                       D5
Now there's no-one to talk to but these trust-fund drunks,
 A5                         E5
You should have brought a chaperone.

 A5 
Well Kick, I'd love to help you but I just don't count,
 B5
Friendship makes you paranoid.
 D5                                D5
I don't believe in curses, but I just might now.
 A5                   E5
I never really had a choice.
           F5 *             D5
Just like all your broken toys.

REPEAT FILL

     D5                    E5      A5
Well Kick, you know this life is rich.
       D5                E5       A5
But pleasure's not the same as happiness.
     D5             E5               A5              F#5
But if you don't collide with the traffic in your mind,
    B5                             E5
I think you'll find your way out of this.
    B5                          E5
I hope you find your way out of this.

REPEAT FILL
