One of the best songs on the album, even though it took a month or so to grow on
me. It's a simple strumming pattern so it's easy to play and sing along to, 
although it's pretty much guaranteed to bring everyone around you down.

Notes on the chords:
"D, D2" --> play a D and on the second strum drop the high F# to an open E
During the verse, the A is a bar chord on the fifth fret of the low E string.
During the chorus, the chords are all bar chords with the following bass roots:
D --> 10th fret of low E
A --> 7th fret of G
C#m --> 9th fret of low E
F#m --> 9th fret of A

Intro F#m 

Verse 1

F#m (244222@1)                               D, D2 (x43141@2)		
      Your baby and wife took a walk on the beach on a Saturday
A (x02220@1)       C#m (x13321@4)     By Monday pictures dressed in bold font
F#m (244222@1)                     D, D2 (x43141@2)		
      The only thing that inspired you was the everyday,
A (x02220@1)                  C#m (x13321@4)     And that's the only thing that they didn't want.
F#m (244222@1)                       D, D2 (x43141@2)		
      The green lights your way, who does it illuminate?
A (x02220@1)       C#mHow (x13321@4)many men reside in your face?
F#m (244222@1)                    D, D2 (x43141@2)		
      And which one got everything you wanted?
        A (x02220@1)                         C#mWhen (x13321@4)all the world's a stage, does everything seem worthless and fake?
F#m (244222@1)                  D, D2 (x43141@2)                        
                          A (x02220@1)            
'Cause I've seen you live so many lives.

       F#m (244222@1)                      D, D2 (x43141@2)Oh, adopted a guise that put you under these lights, 
                    A (x02220@1)        C#mwhat (x13321@4)a cruel design,   that I saw you more than most of my friends
F#m (244222@1)                      D, D2 (x43141@2)               A (x02220@1)       Now tears roll down cheeks from eyes of suspended disbelief
           C#m (x13321@4)       To watch a special news bulletin
F#m (244222@1)                   D, D2 (x43141@2)                        
                          A (x02220@1)Saying, "I've seen you live so many lives.
     C#mOh (x13321@4)what's one more?
F#m (244222@1)                   D, D2 (x43141@2)                        
                  A (x02220@1)                       C#mWhy (x13321@4)won't you rise from the grave like you done before?"

Chorus

        D (xx0232@1)                     A'Cause (x02220@1)they only wanted to see 
           C#m (x13321@4)                       F#mif (244222@1)your eyes shine like in the films of you
        D (xx0232@1)                     A'Cause (x02220@1)they only want to believe 
            C#m (x13321@4)                       F#m (244222@1)that they knew you well themselves
                  D (xx0232@1)                       AOh (x02220@1)but of course they don't look like that
            C#m (x13321@4)                       F#m (244222@1)That took seven hours of make-up and a special lens cap

F#mOh... (244222@1)
Verse 2

Confidants' confidence dies, tongues cluck and tears dry
How are you surprised?
That nameless sadness lives for all time
'Cause drinks don't stay cold and smoke leaves ash like a soul 
and clouds all the voices of safety
I thought for a moment, yeah, maybe I was alone
Just to feel an ounce of regret
But that didn't occur once to the lunch ladies
They had a cup of tea and a cigarette
They didn't waste any precious time saying kind things
'Cause the whole appeal is to rely on the face of things

Chorus

D (xx0232@1)                     A'Cause (x02220@1)they only wanted to see 
           C#m (x13321@4)                       F#mif (244222@1)your eyes shine like in the films of you
        D (xx0232@1)                     A'Cause (x02220@1)they only want to believe 
            C#m (x13321@4)                       F#m (244222@1)that they knew you well themselves
                  D (xx0232@1)                       AOh (x02220@1)but of course they don't look like that
            C#m (x13321@4)                       F#m (244222@1)That took seven hours of make-up and a special lens cap



             D (xx0232@1)                      A (x02220@1)On certain days it's hard to remember that
C#m (x13321@4)              [hold]
Even for you

I hope you rest well

A (x02220@1)        F#m (244222@1)      C#m (x13321@4)       D (xx0232@1)
