[VERSE]
F#m
I play out my role
Bm
Why I've even been out walking
F#m
They tell me that it helps
Bm
But I know when I'm beaten
F#m Bm
//// ////
F#m
All those lonely films
Bm
And all those lonely parties
F#m
But now the feeling is off-screen
Bm
An' the tears for real not acted, anymore
F#m Bm

F#m
I'm all mixed up inside
Bm
I want to run but I can't hide
F#m
And however much we try
Bm
We can't escape the truth and the fact is

[VERSE]
F#m
One more covered sigh
Bm
And one more glance you know means goodbye

[BRIDGE]
Fmaj7
(In my mind different voices call)
Cmaj7
What once was pleasure now's pain for us all
Fmaj7
(In my heart only shadows fall)
Cmaj7
I once stood proud now I feel so small
Fmaj7
(I don't know whether to laugh or cry)
G/A
The long hot summer just passed me by
