Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Bb6 Bb6 Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Bb6 Bb6
[Verse]
Fmaj7 Fmaj7
The paranoid great movie queen
Bb6 Bb6
Sits idly fully armed
Fmaj7 Fmaj7
The powder and mascara there
Bb6 Bb6
A warning light for charm
Bb(ma7)6 F/A [the (ma7) is when you include the vocal line]
We see her every movie night
Gm F
The strong against the weak
Bb6 F/A
The lines come out and struggle with
Gm C
The empty voice that speaks
Gm Gm Fmaj7 Fmaj7
- that spea-ea---ea-ea-eaks
Bb6 Bb6
[Verse]
Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Her heart is o so tired now
Bb(ma7)6 Bb6
Of kindnesses gone by
Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Like broken glasses in a drain
Bb6 Bb6
Gone down but not well spent
Bb(ma7)6 F/A [see above]
The road from Barbary to here
Gm F
She sold then stole right back
Bb6 F/A
The vanity, insanity
Gm C
Her hungry heart forgave
Bb/D F/C [bass line follows the vocal melody]
The fading bride's dull beauty grows
Bb(ma7) F/A [...and leaves it again: (ma7) with the vocal]
Just begging to be seen

Beneath the magic lights that reach

Her schoolhouse mind has windows now
Bb(ma7)6 F/A [see note above]
Where handsome creatures come to watch
Gm6 Gm6
The anaesthetic wearing off
Gm6 Edim Edim
