Chords with lyrics
Clark Gable
The Postal Service
It's the same chord progression all the way through.
VERSE 1
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London underground when it struck me
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
That I've been waiting since birth to find a love that would look and sound like a movie
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
So I changed my plans I rented a camera and a van and then I called you
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
"I need you to pretend that we are in love again" and you agreed to
CHORUS
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd
INSTRUMENTAL
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
VERSE 2
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
The script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
The marker snapped and I yelled "quiet on the set" and then called "action!"
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
And I kissed you in a style that Clark Gable would have admired (I thought it classic)
CHORUS
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?
(I like to speed up my playing here to fit the faster drums)
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
That you tell yourself to get by?
G+G E minorEm B minorBm
That you tell yourself to get by?
