(you don't have to use these exact fingers, I just found these the easiest to play)
Also, the [ ]s are the second person talking in the song, but you can sing the whole song with one person
FShe stole my daydreams
AShe stole my air guitar
Bb[Exterior. Man on lawn, alone at dawn.]
FPacked the typewriter
AAnd drove off in her car
Bb[A battered automobile drives past state line sign.]
AmAnd now I know that BbI'll rue the day
AmI let her get awBbay
FI need a Dhaircut
GmI've got myCself to blame
F[A gloved hand spins a combination dial quickly
Ebopening a large wall safe.]
FHe wasn't so fine
ATo my beginner's mind
Bb[Motel. The other man, severe, refined.]
FBut with that big talk
AI should have seen the signs
Bb[Woman enters and they embrace. He packs duct tape, rope.]
AmAnd right on her he was Bbfixing his aim
AmHe pushed me out of Bbframe
FI need new Dhead shots
GmI've got myCself to blame
F[She spins her ring to hide the diamond in her hand
and drops a Ebgun into a small beaded purse.]
DKnow the diff between a script and a spec
It's a test, just the stage directions left
And no camera angles Fto use, mm-Chmm
DA novice script may seem strange in this format
But like any other business
It's a standard that the writer gets Fused to, aw-Chuh
FMy scenes are cut out
AI'm just on speaker phone
Bb(*Trumpet*)
FFor exposition
AI'm out here on my own
Bb(*Trumpet*)
AmAnd as the night falls on Bbthis sleepy town
AmThe iris closes Bbdown
FI missed my Dclose-up
GmI've got myCself to blameF D
GmI've got myCself to blameF D
GmI've got myCself to Fblame
