I thought that this was a relatively easy song to get chords for, so i just tabbed it up. Enjoy.


VERSE

Bm
I was waiting for a cross-town train in the

E                                 Bm
london underground when it struck me

Bm 
that I've been waiting since birth to find a

E                                      Bm
love that would look and sound like a movie

Bm
so I changed my plans I rented a camera and

E                       Bm
a van and then I called you

Bm                      E
"I need you to pretend that we are in love

E                      Bm
again." and you agreed too



CHORUS

D                           Bm
I want so badly to believe that "there is truth,

Bm             E
that love is real"

D                         Bm
and I want life in every word to the extent

Bm             E
that it's absurd


Inst: Bm E (repeated)


Same thing for the rest of the song. Lyrics:


I greased the lens and framed the shot using
a friend as my stand-in
the script it called for rain but it was clear
that day so we faked it
the marker snapped and I yelled "quiet on
the set" and then called "action!"
and I kissed you in a style clark gable would
have admired (i thought it classic)

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth,
that love is real"
and I want life in every word to the extent
that it's absurd
i know you're wise beyond your years, but
do you ever get the Feel
that your perfect verse is just a lie
you tell yourself to help you get by
