G+G C majorC G+G C majorC

G+G       C majorC     G+G          C majorC
 You came to me in the hospital ward when I blew out my knee
G+G       C majorC            G+G    Cm6Cm6 C minorCm
 But I wasn't there to be cared for or carried
G+G       C majorC      G+G            C majorC
 'Cause I was asleep in my bed, in my house at the end of our street
G+G         C majorC             G+G    Cm6Cm6 C minorCm
 While you drove across town at 3:00 in the morning
    G+G      Em6Em6
It was fake for the sake
  C majorC     B7B7     E minorEm /D
Of making you take me for real
   C majorC         A minorAm   G+G    C majorC G+G Cm6Cm6 C minorCm
But I guess you're even less impressed

G+G          C majorC        G+G          C majorC
 If the world is a stage, and we're all of us actors in some cosmic play
G+G     C majorC     G+G     Cm6Cm6 C minorCm
 I am the man at the masquerade
    G+G      Em6Em6
Who was fake for the sake
  C majorC     B7B7     E minorEm /D
Of making you take me for real
   C majorC         A minorAm   B7B7
But I guess you're even less impressed
E minorEm /D C majorC     B7B7   C majorC
I keep trying to paint a picture
E minorEm    /D   C majorC  /C /D /D#
  'cause what I drew
E minorEm      C majorC         B7B7
 Could be improved if I could make
E minorEm  /D C majorC   B7B7    C majorC
You see more flame than flicker
E minorEm   /D  C majorC  /C /D /D#
These half-truths
E minorEm     /D#  /D       /C#
 Could be improved with less of me
C majorC     G+G C majorC G+G Cm6Cm6 C minorCm     G+G   Em6/C# /C# /D /D#
 And more you    believe what I speak
E minorEm      /D#  /D /C#
 At least just keep
C majorC       G+G  C majorC  /C /D /D# G+G
