Suddenly it's a silver screen And a face so beautiful that I have to cry out Everybody hears me Well, I look like a fool, now, if I try and I shy out She knows all of my friends But it's nice to find a woman who'll stay on late But now I think I've reached the end I wonder in the dead of night, how do I rate? [repeat chorus] Cm Cm/Bb It's all like a dream you know
When you're Bbstill up early in the Fmorning Gm And you all sit toFgether to watch the Ebsun come through Cm Cm/Bb But things don't look so good When you could Abuse a bit of warning Fm Then you know that no one will ever C/Gspeak the truth about Gyou.
[repeat chorus] When I first signed the contract, it was more than a handshake then I know it still is, but there's a plain fact We talk so much shit behind each other's backs, I get the willies People know nothing about their own soft guts So how come they can sum us up Without suffering all the hype we've known How come they bum us up [repeat chorus] one of the best songs on the album.
