Chords with lyrics
Capo 1st fret
G+G
Would you order on demand
G+G
From the disembodied hand
G+G C majorC
From the moving lights up in the sky?
G+G
'Cause there was a time you know
G+G
When I had my own live show
G+G C majorC
It was improvised for the camera's eye
E MajorE A augmentedA
It was made up in the ring
D MajorD G+G
Back when Bob Hope was king
C majorC D MajorD
Back when every choice felt right
BB
Back when life was black and white
G+G C majorC
Now there's one thing I regret
G+G D MajorD
How I wish I didn't care
G+G C majorC
How I wish I could forget
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
That I was someone then when we were on the air
G+G
It was June of '55
G+G
I walked out when we were live
G+G C majorC
Cause I knew I was made for bigger screens than just
G+G G+G
That small time comedy, just a half hour parody
G+G C majorC
It was cinema marquees for me or bust
E MajorE A augmentedA
We were heroes with a plan
D MajorD G+G
Back before the laughs were canned
C majorC D MajorD
Back before the double bed
BB
When the carpets all were red
G+G C majorC
Now there's one thing I regret
G+G D MajorD
How I wish I didn't care
G+G C majorC
How I wish I could forget
G+G D MajorD G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
That I was someone then when we were on the air
G+G
Maybe at the traffic light
G+G
When I see that big white sign
G+G C majorC
Just by chance in my rear-view mirror
G+G
Well I don't know what it means
G+G
But I know it's not the screen
G+G C majorC
It's my own routine and I'm the antihero
E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
But I used to be number one back before the reruns
C majorC D MajorD
Back when every choice felt right
BB
Back when life was black and white
G+G C majorC
Now there's one thing I regret
G+G D MajorD
How I wish I didn't care
G+G C majorC
How I wish I could forget
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
That I was someone then when we were on the air
G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
I was someone then when we were on the air
G+G D MajorD G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
I was someone then when we were on the air
