Verse 1
E E/D#
Too wild to care, you got that animal stare
D A/C#
You got stay anywhere in your eyes
E E/D#
And you're leading me on, but you can be anyone
D A/C#
'Cause I know you'll be gone 'fore I rise
Chorus
E A - E
And we're going through the motions
E A - E
Yeah, we're going through the motions
E A - E
Yeah, we're going through the motions
E A - E
Going through the motions
Verse two (chords as above)
Staying with you gave us something to do
I almost thought it was true for a while
'Cause there's love in you lies, you senility skies
You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried
Chorus
Bridge
G# - c# F# G#sus4 - G#
To thee I dedicate this photograph
E B F#
I'll even sign it "love to you" again
A B E B/D# c#m
And when it's faded and forgotten in some book
B A G# F# E
You'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look
Solo - not perfect, but you get the idea. The bends in the first part are
very subtle. There is some kind of harmonic at the end of the second line
that I haven't tabbed in.

Verse 3
It's a game, it's a game, no let's call it a shame
