Verse:

Gm   F    Cm    D(bass)
She was stuck in pictures,
Gm       F    Cm  D(bass)
While he passed time in film.
Gm    F        Cm  D(bass)
Oh silly fame, why do you play?
Gm    F       Cm  D(bass)
Frame by frame, day by day.
   Gm  F    Cm  D(bass)
With reels changing over,
  Gm    F   Cm  D(bass)
And dropping to the sides.
Gm     F          Cm  D(bass)
Oh, solemn soul, see where you are.
  Gm     F         Cm  D(bass)
And look to the sides, what you discard.

Chorus:
      Eb
Press your lips to mine,
F#dim   Gm    Eb
Breathe in deep and lie.
     Cm   D
When the cameras roll,
   Gm F  C
Hide away your soul.
      Cm      D
Flash your eyes, forge a smile.

Post-Chorus:

Bb    D     Bb    D
Entertain but don't get stuck in something you
Gm
hate.

Verse 2:

Gm
Bring me the eyes of the earth,
             Cm
Cut off the tongue of the world.
     Gm      Cm
Keep the ends close inside,
    Gm      Cm
To the means that imply.
    D              Gm
And not living the life that you're worth.

Chorus:
       Eb
Pressing your lips to mine,
F#dim   Gm    Eb
Breathe in deep and lie.
     Cm   D
When the cameras roll,
   Gm    G
Hide away your soul.
       Eb
Flashing your eyes to sell,
F#dim Gm   Eb
Lying to yourself.
    Cm       D
Dodging truth from the start,
   Gm F  C
Hide away your heart.
   Cm       D
Turn around, forge a smile.

Bb    D     Bb    D     Bb
Entertain but don't get stuck in something painful,
D     Bb     D
Something worse than nothing.

Bridge:

Cm
We could have been smart,
     Eb
With the plot from the start.
  F#dim
Mistakes from the spark,
  D       Eb
We knew it wasn't love.

Chorus:

F#dim   Gm    Eb
Breathe in deep and lie.
     Cm   D
When the cameras roll,
   Gm F  C
Hide away your soul.
      Cm      D
Flash your eyes, forge a smile.
   Gm
Entertain.
