 Intro
 Your baby and wife took a walk  on  the beach on a Saturday
 By Monday  pictures dressed in bold font
 The only thing that inspired  you was the everyday,
 And that’s the only  thing that they didn’t want.
 The green lights your way,  who does it illuminate?
How  many men  reside in your face?
 And which one got everything  you wanted?
 When all  the world’s a stage, does everything  seem worthless and fake?
 'Cause I've seen you live so  many lives.
 Oh, adopted  a guise that put you under  these lights,
 what a cruel design,  that I saw  you more than most of my friends
 Now tears roll down  cheeks  from eyes of suspended  disbelief
  To watch  a special news bulletin
 Saying, "I've seen you live  so many lives.
 Oh what's  one more?
 Why won't you rise  from the grave like you done  before?"
 'Cause they  only wanted to see
 if your eyes  shine like in the films of  you
 'Cause they  only want to believe
 that they knew  you well themselves
 Oh but of course they  don't look like that
 That took seven  hours of make-up and a special  lens cap
Oh...
 Confidants' confidence dies, tongues cluck and tears dry
 How are you surprised?
 That nameless sadness lives for all time
 'Cause drinks don't stay cold and smoke leaves ash like a soul
 and clouds all the voices of safety
 I thought for a moment, yeah, maybe I was alone
 Just to feel an ounce of regret
 But that didn't occur once to the lunch ladies
 They had a cup of tea and a cigarette
 They didn't waste any precious time saying kind things
 'Cause the whole appeal is to rely on the face of things
'Cause  they only wanted to  see
 if your eyes  shine like in the films of  you
 'Cause they  only want to believe
 that they knew  you well themselves
 Oh but of course they  don't look like that
 That took seven  hours of make-up and a special  lens cap
 On certain days  it's hard to remember that
 Even for you
 I hope you rest well

Intro [F#m]

[F#m]      Your baby and wife took a walk[D] on[D2] the beach on a Saturday
[A]      By M[C#m]onday pictures dressed in bold font
[F#m]      The only thing that [D]ins[D2]pired you was the everyday,
[A]      And that’s the [C#m]only thing that they didn’t want.
[F#m]      The green lights your [D]way[D2], who does it illuminate?
[A]How many m[C#m]en reside in your face?
[F#m]      And which one got e[D]ver[D2]ything you wanted?
When all[A] the world’s a stage, does e[C#m]verything seem worthless and fake?
[F#m]                    [D]  [D2]

'Cause I've seen you live [A]so many lives.

Oh, ado[F#m]pted a guise that put you u[D]nde[D2]r these lights,
what a cruel design,[A]   that I s[C#m]aw you more than most of my friends
[F#m]        Now tears roll down[D] ch[D2]eeks from eyes of s[A]uspended disbelief
        To [C#m]watch a special news bulletin
[F#m]                     [D]  [D2]

Saying, "I've seen you liv[A]e so many lives.
Oh wh[C#m]at's one more?
[F#m]                     [D]  [D2]

Why won't you rise[A] from the grave like you d[C#m]one before?"

'Cause t[D]hey only wanted to see  [A]
if your eye[C#m]s shine like in the films of[F#m] you
'Cause t[D]hey only want to believe[A]
that they kn[C#m]ew you well themselves      [F#m]
Oh but of course t[D]hey don't look like that  [A]
That took se[C#m]ven hours of make-up and a s[F#m]pecial lens cap

[F#m]Oh...

Confidants' confidence dies, tongues cluck and tears dry
How are you surprised?
That nameless sadness lives for all time
'Cause drinks don't stay cold and smoke leaves ash like a soul
and clouds all the voices of safety
I thought for a moment, yeah, maybe I was alone
Just to feel an ounce of regret
But that didn't occur once to the lunch ladies
They had a cup of tea and a cigarette
They didn't waste any precious time saying kind things
'Cause the whole appeal is to rely on the face of things

[D]'Cause they only wanted [A]to see
if your eye[C#m]s shine like in the films of[F#m] you
'Cause t[D]hey only want to believe[A]
that they kn[C#m]ew you well themselves      [F#m]
Oh but of course t[D]hey don't look like that  [A]
That took se[C#m]ven hours of make-up and a s[F#m]pecial lens cap

On certain da[D]ys it's hard to remember [A]that
[C#m]                [hold]
Even for you

I hope you rest well

[A]          [F#m]        [C#m]         [D]
