Verse:

G5      F5        C5       D(bass)
She was stuck in pictures,
G5              F5       C5   D(bass)
While he passed time in film.
G5       F5                C5    D(bass)
Oh silly fame, why do you play?
G5       F5             C5   D(bass)
Frame by frame, day by day.
     G5    F5        C5    D(bass)
With reels changing over,
    G5       F5      C5    D(bass)
And dropping to the sides.
G5         F5                   C5   D(bass)
Oh, solemn soul, see where you are.
    G5          F5                  C5    D(bass)
And look to the sides, what you discard.


Chorus:
           Eb5
Press your lips to mine,
F#5      G5       Eb5
Breathe in deep and lie.
         C5      D5
When the cameras roll,
      G5  F5    C5
Hide away your soul.
           C5            D5
Flash your eyes, forge a smile.

Post-Chorus:

     Bb5       D5         Bb5       D5            
Entertain but don?t get stuck in something you 
G5
hate.

Pre-Verse:
This part is difficult to play on guitar correctly so here's the notes to the chord:

Right Hand: A5 - Bb5 - D5
Left Hand: switches between G(bass) and D(bass)


Verse 2:

G5 
Bring me the eyes of the earth,
                          C5
Cut off the tongue of the world.
         G5           C5
Keep the ends close inside,
       G5           C5
To the means that imply.
        D5                           G5
And not living the life that you?re worth.


Chorus:
              Eb5
Pressing your lips to mine,
F#5      G5       Eb5
Breathe in deep and lie.
         C5      D5
When the cameras roll,
      G5       G5
Hide away your soul.
              Eb5       
Flashing your eyes to sell,
F#5 G5     Eb5
Lying to yourself.
        C5             D5
Dodging truth from the start,
      G5  F5    C5
Hide away your heart.
      C5             D5
Turn around, forge a smile.


     Bb5       D5         Bb5       D5         Bb5
Entertain but don?t get stuck in something painful,
D5         Bb5         D5
Something worse than nothing.


Bridge:

   C5  
We could have been smart,
         Eb5
With the plot from the start.
   F#5
Mistakes from the spark,
   D5              Eb5
We knew it wasn?t love.


Chorus:

F#5      G5       Eb5
Breathe in deep and lie.
         C5      D5
When the cameras roll,
      G5  F5    C5
Hide away your soul.
           C5            D5
Flash your eyes, forge a smile.
     G5
Entertain.


Repeat Post Chorus

Outro:
