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
