Intro F#5 

Verse 1

F#5                                 D5 , D5                        
      Your baby and wife took a walk on the beach on a Saturday
A5         C#5
      By Monday pictures dressed in bold font
F#5                       D5 , D5                        
      The only thing that inspired you was the everyday,
A5                    C#5
      And that?s the only thing that they didn?t want.
F#5                         D5 , D5                        
      The green lights your way, who does it illuminate?
A5         C#5
How many men reside in your face?
F#5                      D5 , D5                        
      And which one got everything you wanted?
        A5                           C#5
When all the world?s a stage, does everything seem worthless and fake?
F#5                    D5 , D5      
                        
                          A5              
'Cause I've seen you live so many lives.

       F#5                        D5 , D5      
Oh, adopted a guise that put you under these lights, 
                    A5          C#5
what a cruel design,   that I saw you more than most of my friends
F#5                        D5 , D5                 A5
        Now tears roll down cheeks from eyes of suspended disbelief
           C#5
        To watch a special news bulletin
F#5                     D5 , D5      
                        
                          A5 
Saying, "I've seen you live so many lives.
     C#5
Oh what's one more?
F#5                     D5 , D5      
                        
                  A5                         C#5
Why won't you rise from the grave like you done before?"

Chorus

        D5                       A5
'Cause they only wanted to see 
           C#5                         F#5
if your eyes shine like in the films of you
        D5                       A5
'Cause they only want to believe 
            C#5                         F#5 
that they knew you well themselves
                  D5                         A5
Oh but of course they don't look like that
            C#5                         F#5 
That took seven hours of make-up and a special lens cap

F#5
Oh...

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

D5                       A5
'Cause they only wanted to see 
           C#5                         F#5
if your eyes shine like in the films of you
        D5                       A5
'Cause they only want to believe 
            C#5                         F#5 
that they knew you well themselves
                  D5                         A5
Oh but of course they don't look like that
            C#5                         F#5 
That took seven hours of make-up and a special lens cap



             D5                        A5      
On certain days it's hard to remember that
C#5                [hold]
Even for you

I hope you rest well

A5          F#5        C#5         D5
