Primetime chords by Del Paxton

Intro:
E B/Eb E B/Eb E B/Eb G#m F#


verse 1:
         C#m B   C#m
From the top down   you're
       B
in the center of an
  C#m        B
accumulating pressure
             G#m
You did your best to
        F#
just forget that you
     C#m    B
got snuffed out
C#m
drowned out by the
 B             C#m
static in an attempt
               B
to catch the essence
             G#m
of something you
             F#    G#m F# G#m F#
though you deserved

      E   B
All I want is no more
   E       B
commercials and with
A             B
all they represent
        A
what we need
            F#m
is a better sense

verse 2:
            C#m B C#m
And I think we
                B
should quit the circus
C#m B           G#m
     and never speak of
      F#
this again When I got
C#m B          C#m
home I couldn't
            B
construct a sentence
   C#m
forgot to print out
  B
directions telling
      G#m
me me I don't
          F#
know the struggle


verse 3:
             C#m B
But that was fun
what's there to
         C#m B
pick you up   one
        C#m
of your famous
     B
misdirections
           G#m
showing me how
to adjust the
F#
tension


Refrain:
            G#m  B G#m
what have I done?
      C#m
I was only
trying to pick
    G#m B G#m
you up
      F#
I Was only
only trying to

           E   B
spend some time in
       E    B
empty spaces Take
         A
back the things
              B
that we never meant
           A
and do whatever we
        F#m
haven't yet But you
              E   B
were blue and gray
           E      B
hands were shaking
           A
telling me why you
          B
were so upset not
          A
trying to patiently
         F#m
wait for death


Bridge:
           E  F# G#m F#
You are a star

C#m B G#m F#
E F# G#m F#

C#m B G#m F#
E F# G#m F#
C#m B G#m F#
E F# G#m F#
C#m B G#m F#

           E  B
You are a star
            E    B
ou are emblematic
              A
Take back the things
              B
that we never meant
           A
and do whatever we
        F#m
haven't yet But you
              E   B
were blue and gray
           E      B
hands were shaking
           A
telling me why you
          B
were so upset not
          A
trying to patiently
         F#m
wait for death
