E               A             B            E
I found America hiding in the corner of my wallet
                                                   B
It's a well kept secret, thought that I had better swallow it
  F#m               D
Before they make me spit out the truth
  G                     C                B
Before they find you're lying about your youth

Chorus:
E               A           B  E
B movie, that's all you are to me
 
Just a soft soap story
                        B
Don't want the woman to adore me
          F#m                        B
You can't stand it when it goes from real to reel
    F#m             B
Too real too real
          F#m                   A                    C
You can't stand it when I throw punch lines you can   feel


        C#m             F#m                C#m
All the time, there's a rule book in Brittania
     F#m             C#m
That no one ever waives
           E     
And everybody's on the make
                          B
It's not your heart I want to break


E      
Turn out the lights
    A               B             E
I'm thinking that I want to go to sleep now
                                            B
Just give me a promise that I'm supposed to keep now
  F#m                  D
I don't want some fool asking me why
G                  C                 B
When I find you're finally making me cry

**Chorus
         C
You can   feel. you can feel. you can feel. . . .
