I knew prufrock before he got famous

Chord diagramA augmentedA               Chord diagramAsus4Asus4
Let's begin at the beginning, we're lovers and we're losers
Chord diagramG#G#               Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2
We're heroes and we're pioneers, we're beggars and we're choosers
Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramF# minorF#m
Skirting 'round the edges of the ideal demographic
Chord diagramG#G#               Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2
We're always on the guest list,but we're always stuck in traffic

Same again for this bit, with faster strumming

We've watched our close associates, Often play their parts
Chatting up the 'it' girls, And they're tearing up the charts
While we were paying with coppers to get our rounds in at the bar
We're the Chord diagramC majorC team, we're the almost famous old friends of the stars

Justin is the last great romantic poet
He's the only one among us who is ever gonna' make it
We planned the revolution from a cheap Southampton bistro
I don't remember details, but there were English boys with Banjos
Jay is our St George and he's standing on a wooden chair
And he sings songs and he slays dragons and he's losing all his hair
And Adam is the resurrected spirit of Gram Parsons
In plaid instead of Rhinestone and living in South London
And no one's really clear about Tommy's job description
But it's pretty clear he's vital to the whole damn operation
And Dave Danger smiles at strangers, Tre's the safest girl I know
And sullen hearts will scamper off to victory in the City we call home

Chord diagramF# minorF#m                        Chord diagramE MajorE
And we won't change our ways, we will proud remain,
Chord diagramG#G#    Chord diagramAsus4Asus4     Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2
when the glory fades, when the glory fades

Yeah I am sick and tired of people who are living on the B-list
Yeah they're waiting to be famous, and they're wondering why they do this
And I know I'm not the one who is habitually optimistic
But I'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this
Yeah, well life is about love, lost minutes and lost evening
About fire in our bellies and about furtive little feelings
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering
And they help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is

 Chord diagramA augmentedA     Chord diagramAsus4Asus4   Chord diagramG#G#     Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2    Chord diagramD MajorD
 live               yeah the only thing that's left to do is

 Chord diagramA augmentedA       Chord diagramAsus4Asus4          Chord diagramG#G#
live, after all of the loving and losing, after all the heroes and the pioneers

(strum these last chords once)

Chord diagramDsus2Dsus2                Chord diagramE MajorE           Chord diagramA augmentedA
The only thing that's left to do is get another round in at the bar.

Well it's better than the other one. Tell me what you think.
