Intro: F#m--A--E-- x4


Verse 1:
F#m          A
   It's been all the same
    E
The wasted words
The way I'm feeling strange
F#m        A
   Colours gone the way
   E
Of empty rooms
And leaning over days
F#m      A         E
   Letterbox in TV frame
I let you in you'd
do the same
F#m       A

    E
And maybe I can
laugh if off again


Breakdown: C#m-D-A--Bm-C#m-Bm- x2


Chorus:
F#m                     A
   I love your mercury smile
            D         C#m D
It keeps me outta line

F#m                 A
   I try to simplify
          D         C#m D
The complicated kind
F#m              A
   I got an alibi
          D
If you're so inclined
C#m            D
Everything was beautiful
        C#m
I don't know why it
D              Bm
had to be this way


Verse 2:
F#m    A
   I recall the blame
    E
The failing terms the
light revealing stain
F#m        A
   Fabric starts to frey
     E
With every line of
thought begins decay
F#m      A         E
   Letterbox in TV frame
I let you in you'd
do the same
F#m       A
   Credit photograph
    E
And maybe I can
laugh if off again


(Repeat Chorus)

F#m
   Falling in disgrace

A
listen to the laughter

  What a terrible waste
             F#m
I can hardly wait
Falling in disgrace
A
listen to the laughter
E
  What a terrible waste
             F#m
I can hardly wait
Falling in disgrace
A
listen to the laughter
E
  What a terrible waste
             F#m
I can hardly wait
Falling in disgrace
A
listen to the laughter
E
  What a terrible waste
I can hardly wait
