  Doesn't matter in this chatter and hum
      Fadd9
I'm invisible

By the end of youth?

  It's too late to find an excuse
Ebmaj7                              Fadd9
  The party's over and I'm not much use ... tonight
Ebmaj7             Ebmaj7 :
  Am I tragic or a joke

  It's a journey so they say
Ebmaj7                            |  Gm  |  %  |
  But in this desert I was only a hazy, lazy mirage

Verse 1:
  Fmaj7                 F6
I thought it was like a film
  Gm7              C7
Reviewed but never seen
      Fmaj7                F6
Where everybody played themselves
     Gm7           C7
As a drama king or queen


Verse 2:
    Fmaj7         F6
The music was overwhelming
Gm7            C7
Glittering and thin
Fmaj7                    F6
Solemn and shabby like a requiem
   Gm7              C7
In denim and leopardskin


Verse 3:
  Fmaj7          F6
I visualised the flashbacks:
Gm7                  C7
School, punk rock, success
Fmaj7                F6
Parties, too much of everything
    Gm7                       C7
The clichés, the candles, the mess

Lucien in the scene with David

This is our last chance for goodbye
        Bb      C

In denim and leopardskin


Verse 4:
   Fmaj7        F6
It ended with a motorbike
  Gm7           C7
A search for evidence
Fmaj7           F6
Poring over old photographs
   Gm7              C7
To make it all fake sense
Fmaj7            F6
Glamorous in its own way
Gm7                C7
Shouting above the din
Fmaj7                    F6
Solemn and shabby like a requiem
   Gm7              C7
In denim and leopardskin

Hair by Keith at Smile
Ebmaj7
All you need to make it big
   Bb7sus4
Is sex and style
