Verse 1:
   F#F#           E MajorE
You play guitar for perfect - strangers
   F#F#              E MajorE
You write some words they try to sell
   F#F#              E MajorE
And then you sing these things in public
F#F#           E MajorE
-- Sometimes not very well
F#F#           E MajorE
You get paid to go to parties
 F#F#            E MajorE
Drinking colors...talking trash...
  F#F#               E MajorE
And you get laid because you're - 'arty'
  F#F#          E MajorE
And wonder why it never lasts

Chorus:
C majorC         FF
- Maybe these are wonders
G+G          A minorAm
- More than we may know
C majorC              FF
- Well I hate to steal your thunder
G+G            E MajorE
- You ain't nothing special
         G+G         F#F#
You're no more celestial than anyone else
  C majorC
As far as I can tell
 E MajorE                 G+G
Call it mythology, we see what we wanna see

And everyone wants their distant dreams


Interlude:

Verse 2:
  F#F#            E MajorE
So sure enough they want your - picture
F#F#              E MajorE
-- And your deepest point of view
F#F#                 E MajorE
-- You should know you're not that - pretty
F#F#            E MajorE
-- And you haven't got a clue
F#F#             E MajorE
-- But how you love the adoration
F#F#               E MajorE
-- You believe your 'in-house' - press
F#F#               E MajorE
-- And half the critics always - hate you
F#F#            E MajorE
-- So you get horribly depressed

Call it mythology, we see what we wanna see
  C majorC     F#F#         A augmentedA  C majorC
And I am the snake who bites his own tail
