 Kick,  you know you're still  a kid
 And your diets  too full  of additives.
 Passed  out on the couch  with ashes  in your mouth
 Dreaming  that you're hopping the fence.
 This world  must have it out  for you
 From the shores  of Montauk  up to Malibu.
 The trappings  of a name  that you never  could escape,
 These people  want to live in the past.
 Some golden  age that they never had.
I  thought we lost that Camelot
I  thought we lost that Camelot
Some  children story we forgot,
Grew  old so long  ago.
 Kick  its hard to make  a friend
 In a world  that's this cruel  and partisan.
 But you  should go in style  to Stockholm  for a while,
 Live  outside oblivions lense.
 Someday  you'll have a fine  divorce,
 and a cemetery  plot  in Hyannisport.
 Next time  you close your eyes  on that helicopter  ride,
 I hope  you see it isn't your fault.
 I hope  you know it isn't your fault.
I  thought we shot that Camelot
I  thought they shot that Camelot
Whoever  shot this movie stop
B  wrote; said the  show must go.  - This line is probably the most wrong
 FILL: A A?(finger on B-string up to the 3rd fret)
 Lying  in the office on an old chaise-lounge
 Listening  to the doctor drone.
 No  therapeutic feeling once the shock  wears's off,
 Answer  every question 'no'.
 Hiding  in the hammock with the shades pulled down
 Wondering  if the story's broke.
 Tragedy  is profit once the word  gets out,
 Tabloids  at the country store.
 Searching  on the tables once the bar's closed down,
 said  somebody stole your phone.
 Now  there's no-one to talk to but these trust-fund  drunks,
 You  should have brought a chaperone.
 Well  Kick, I'd love to help you but I just don't count,
 Friendship  makes you paranoid.
 I  don't believe in curses, but I just  might now.
 I  never really had a choice.
 Just like all  your broken toys.
 REPEAT FILL
 Well Kick,  you know this life  is rich.
 But pleasure's  not the same  as happiness.
 But if  you don't collide  with the traffic  in your mind,
 I think  you'll find your way out of this.
 I hope  you find your way out of this.
 REPEAT FILL
 END ON A

Ki[D]ck, you know you're s[E7]till a k[A]id
And your di[D]ets too f[E7]ull of add[A]itives.
Pa[D]ssed out on the c[E7]ouch with as[A]hes in your m[F#]outh
Dre[Bm7]aming that you're hopping the f[E7]ence.
This wo[D]rld must have it [E7]out for y[A]ou
From the s[D]hores of Mon[E7]tauk up to Ma[A]libu.
The tr[D]appings of a n[E7]ame that you ne[A]ver could es[F#]cape,
These pe[Bm7]ople want to live in the p[E7]ast.
Some go[Bm7]lden age that they never h[E7]ad.

[Bm]I thought we lost that Camelot
[E7]I thought we lost that Camelot
[A7]Some children story we forgot,
[F]Grew old so l[Bm]ong a[E7]go.

Ki[D]ck its hard to m[E7]ake a fr[A]iend
In a wo[D]rld that's this cr[E7]uel and pa[A]rtisan.
But y[D]ou should go in s[E7]tyle to Stock[A]holm for a wh[F#]ile,
Li[Bm7]ve outside oblivions l[E7]ense.

Som[D]eday you'll have a fi[E7]ne divo[A]rce,
and a c[D]emetery p[E7]lot in Hy[A]annisport.
Next t[D]ime you close your e[E7]yes on that heli[A]copter r[F#]ide,
I ho[Bm7]pe you see it isn't your fa[E7]ult.
I ho[Bm7]pe you know it isn't your f[E7]ault.

[Bm]I thought we shot that Camelot
[E7]I thought they shot that Camelot
[A7]Whoever shot this movie stop
[F]B wrote; said the[Bm] show must [E7]go.        - This line is probably the most wrong

FILL: A        A?(finger on B-string up to the 3rd fret)

L[A]ying in the office on an old chaise-lounge
L[Bm]istening to the doctor drone.
N[D]o therapeutic feeling once the sh[Dm]ock wears's off,
A[A7]nswer every question [E7]'no'.

H[A]iding in the hammock with the shades pulled down
W[Bm]ondering if the story's broke.
Tr[D]agedy is profit once the [Dm]word gets out,
Ta[A7]bloids at the country s[E7]tore.

S[A]earching on the tables once the bar's closed down,
s[Bm]aid somebody stole your phone.
N[D]ow there's no-one to talk to but these t[Dm]rust-fund drunks,
Y[A7]ou should have brought a ch[E7]aperone.

W[A]ell Kick, I'd love to help you but I just don't count,
F[Bm]riendship makes you paranoid.
I[D] don't believe in curses, but I j[Dm]ust might now.
I[A7] never really had a c[E7]hoice.
Just like a[F]ll your broken [Dm]toys.

REPEAT FILL

Well [D]Kick, you know this l[E7]ife is r[A]ich.
But ple[D]asure's not the s[E7]ame as ha[A]ppiness.
But i[D]f you don't co[E7]llide with the tr[A]affic in your m[F#]ind,
I th[Bm7]ink you'll find your way out of [E7]this.
I ho[Bm7]pe you find your way out of t[E7]his.

REPEAT FILL
