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 D, D2 Your baby and wife took a walk on the beach on a Saturday A C#m By Monday pictures dressed in bold font F#m D, D2 The only thing that inspired you was the everyday, A C#m And that’s the only thing that they didn’t want. F#m D, D2 The green lights your way, who does it illuminate? A C#m How many men reside in your face? F#m D, D2 And which one got everything you wanted? A C#m When all the world’s a stage, does everything seem worthless and fake? F#m D, D2 A 'Cause I've seen you live so many lives. F#m D, D2 Oh, adopted a guise that put you under these lights, A C#m what a cruel design, that I saw you more than most of my friends F#m D, D2 A Now tears roll down cheeks from eyes of suspended disbelief C#m To watch a special news bulletin F#m D, D2 A Saying, "I've seen you live so many lives. C#m Oh what's one more? F#m D, D2 A C#m Why won't you rise from the grave like you done before?" Chorus D A 'Cause they only wanted to see C#m F#m if your eyes shine like in the films of you D A 'Cause they only want to believe C#m F#m that they knew you well themselves D A Oh but of course they don't look like that C#m F#m That took seven hours of make-up and a special lens cap F#m 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 D A 'Cause they only wanted to see C#m F#m if your eyes shine like in the films of you D A 'Cause they only want to believe C#m F#m that they knew you well themselves D A Oh but of course they don't look like that C#m F#m That took seven hours of make-up and a special lens cap D A On certain days it's hard to remember that C#m [hold] Even for you I hope you rest well A F#m C#m D
