Key: G 🎸 Intro: G/C G/C 🎸 Verse 1: G Dear Richard C I wish that I could stay in the picture Em I know you wrote this part for me D G The man you thought that I could be in pre-production Em I wish that nothing would have changed D We talked so perfectly together Am When the light was strange D Em But in the light of day G D We discovered we could not sustain the ruse
🎸 Chorus: Em G What else can you say when the life D That you choose Gives you the blues 🎸 Instrumental: G/C G/C 🎸 Verse 2: G Dear Oscar C I need to find someone who can play Em A boxer with a fast pathetic smile D And a voice like honey And I don't care about the money Em G I can feel the pressure how it's boiling up in Burbank D Now I've lost my muse 🎸 Chorus: Em G What else can you say when the life that D You choose Gives you the blues 🎸 Bridge: G C It's not enough, it's never enough Just to keep pretending Em I could die on the street a thousand D Times and never get your perfect ending G C I know it will be a beautiful, spectacular, triumphant Em D If they ever get the cash to push it through 🎸 Chorus: G What else can you say when the life D That you choose Gives you the blues 🎸 Outro: G/C G/C G/C G/C
