Girlyman - On the air

^GWould you order on demand ^GFrom the disembodied hand ^GFrom the moving lights up in t^Che sky? ^G'Cause there was a time you know ^GWhen I had my own live show ^GIt was improvised for the ca^Cmera's eye It ^Ewas made up in the r^Aing B^Dack when Bob H^Gope was king ^CBack when every c^Dhoice felt right ^BBack when life was black and white

Now there's ^Gone thing I r^Cegret How I ^Gwish I didn't c^Dare How I ^Gwish I could fo^Crget That I was so^Gmeone then when ^Dwe were on the ai^Gr ^{C D C D}

It was J^Gune of '55 I^G walked out when we were live ^GCause I knew I was made for bigger s^Ccreens than just ^GThat small time comedy, jus^Gt a half hour parody ^GIt was cinema marquees fo^Cr me or bust We ^Ewere heroes with ^Aa plan Back^D before the la^Gughs were canned B^Cack before the dou^Dble bed ^BWhen the carpets all were red

Now there's^G one thing I ^Cregret How I ^Gwish I didn't c^Dare How I ^Gwish I could fo^Crget That I was so^Gmeone then when ^Dwe were on the ai^Gr ^{Bm C D}

^GMaybe at the traffic light ^GWhen I see that big white sign ^GJust by chance in my ^Crear-view mirror ^GWell I don't know what it means ^GBut I know it's not the screen ^GIt's my own routine and I'm the a^Cntihero ^EBut I used to be nu^Amber one b^Dack before the re^Gruns ^CBack when every cho^Dice felt right ^BBack when life was black and white

^GNow there's o^Cne thing I regret How I ^Gwish I didn't c^Dare How I ^Gwish I could fo^Crget That I was so^Gmeone then when ^Dwe were on the ai^Gr ^C I was someon^Ge then when we we^Dre on the a^Gir ^C I was someo^Gne then when we ^Dwere on the a^Gir ^{Bm C D}
