   As he live and he dies
   By a simple tattoo)

(Well there you go, though we tried hard to know him
   It's there on his face
   He's a case where there's clearly no hope)

C (x32010@1)   
  Give me your hand again
C (x32010@1)                    Asus2 (x02200@1) 'Til I land again

(His face starts to fade
   As we pull down the shade
   And the picture we made
   Is in glorious cinemascope)

C (x32010@1) I'll be back ...
C (x32010@1)              Asus2 (x02200@1) I'll be back

(repeat and FADE)
