VERSE 1
C Am Em
I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London underground when it struck me
C Am Em
That I've been waiting since birth to find a love that would look and sound like a movie
C Am Em
So I changed my plans I rented a camera and a van and then I called you
C Am Em
I need you to pretend that we are in love again and you agreed to
CHORUS
C Am Em
I want so badly to believe that there is truth that love is real
C Am Em
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

VERSE 2
C Am Em
I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in
C Am Em
The script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it
C Am Em
The marker snapped and I yelled quiet on the set and then called action
C Am Em
And I kissed you in a style that Clark Gable would have admired I thought it classic
CHORUS
C Am Em
I want so badly to believe that there is truth that love is real
C Am Em
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd
C Am Em
I know you're wise beyond your years but do you ever get the fear
C Am Em
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by
I like to speed up my playing here to fit the faster drums
C Am Em
That you tell yourself to get by
C Am Em
That you tell yourself to get by
