Dm Am
Why do we whisper?
Em
It's true, true lovers whisper
Cmaj7
or don't say anything
Em Cmaj7
at all
Dm Am
the greatest story never told
Em
both of us are feelin' old
Cmaj7
been feelin' everything
Em Cmaj7
and nothin' much
Am
Oh, look beyond past the cities edge
Em
where the horizon dips
G
and all the strip mall hookers show promotion clips
F Em
and "Life - the Movie", portrays us working stiffs
Am
as wastrels on
watch ourselves again
Em
on some wasted trip
givin' up on love
G
just for the fuck of it
F
oh "Life - the Movie",
Em Cmaj7
so easy to forget
Dm
angels and aliens, are restless
Am
ain't gonna' stay
Em
they're countin' down the days
Cmaj7
till they leave us alone
Em Cmaj7
can't see them anyway
Dm
electric colors, cut a swath
Am
but leave no trace
Em
why do we advertise,
Cmaj7
that we have lost the race?
Em Cmaj7
if we were proud, we'd hide
Am
but since we've lost
watch ourselves again
Em
let's call the whole thing off
"Life: the Movie" ends
G
when the villain says
F
that he will apprehend
Em Cmaj7
but then rides off instead
Am
let us drown in peace
"Life - the Movie" showin'
Em
six and one-half days a week
"Life - the Movie" endin'
G
when they kick us hard
F
to make sure we're dead
Em Cmaj7
and not just dreamin'
[pause on Am for 4 bars]
Am
the truth of our lies
Fmaj7
the thrill of our wrongs
G
are these the last things on earth
Em Cmaj7
that still turn us on?
Am
and in a crash
Fmaj7
we'll see the flash
G
don't forget to breathe
Em Cmaj7
don't forget to laugh
Am
look beyond watch ourselves again
G
"Life - the Movie's" on
in every single town
F
"Life - the Movie" plays
til we finally beg
Em G
let us bleed all day
Am
the last hurrah
a forecast of our times
G
I refuse to fall
you'll choose to just go blind
F
when "Life - the Movie" plays
G Em
I'll turn away, I'll put out my eyes
