Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
She  was stuck  in pictures,
While  he passed time  in film.
Oh  silly fame,  why do you play?
Frame  by frame,  day by day.
 With reels changing over,
 And dropping to  the sides.
Oh,  solemn soul,  see where you are.
 And look  to the sides,  what you discard.
 Press your lips  to mine,
Breathe  in deep  and lie.
 When the cameras roll,
 Hide away your soul.
 Flash your eyes,  forge a smile.
 Post-Chorus:
 Entertain  but don’t  get stuck  in something  you
hate.
 Pre-Verse:
 This part is difficult to play on guitar correctly so here's the notes to the chord:
 Right Hand: --
 Left Hand: switches between G(bass) and D(bass)
Bring  me the eyes of the earth,
 Cut off the tongue of the world.
 Keep the ends  close inside,
 To the means  that imply.
 And not living  the life that you’re worth.
 Pressing your lips  to mine,
Breathe  in deep  and lie.
 When the cameras roll,
 Hide away  your soul.
 Flashing your eyes  to sell,
Lying to  yourself.
 Dodging truth  from the start,
 Hide away your heart.
 Turn around,  forge a smile.
 Entertain  but don’t  get stuck  in something painful,
Something worse  than nothing.
 We could  have been smart,
 With the plot  from the start.
 Mistakes  from the spark,
 We knew  it wasn’t love.
Breathe  in deep  and lie.
 When the cameras roll,
 Hide away your soul.
 Flash your eyes,  forge a smile.
 Entertain.
 Repeat Post Chorus
 End on Gm
