[Verse]
C G6 D
It’s hard to adjust your eyes after the matinee
C G6 D
From the womb of the theater to the light of day
C G6 D
But you’ve got something to think about on the ride home
C G6 D
And you’ve got something to talk about if you’re not alone
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Outside the walls I hear sirens
Am
Fade to black, dramatic irony
D
Before my eyes, after the previews
G
I can relate, you do what we do
C
So I’m alive in the final act
Am
The spirits did it all in an hour and a half
D
Bring me to pain, bring me to relief
G
Turn off my brain, suspend my disbelief
[Chorus]
C Em
There’s a beautiful score I’ll never hear
D Am
When my vision blurs it rings in my ears
C
I must be saved
Em D
I must be saved before the end
C Em
There’s a wonderful line I can’t remember
D Am
I can’t rewind so I better remember
C
Must be saved
Em D
I must be saved before the end

[Verse]
C G6 D
The hero stands up and the blood rushes out of his head
C G6 D
But you can still see him breathing after he’s dead
C G6 D
And after the soul is gone, his body’s back to himself
C G6 D
You’ll say “Oh, who is he? I seen him in something else”
[Pre-Chorus]
C
And so I pray to the movie screen
Am
That I’ll be shown something I’ve never seen
D
A revelation, I can sense it
G
But this part don’t make any sense yet
C
If heaven is a film that never ends
Am
And all the characters are my friends
D
Or is that what we call a tv show
G
Or is that the real life that we’re living now
[Chorus]
C Em
There’s a beautiful score I’ll never hear
D Am
When my vision blurs it rings in my ears
C
I must be saved
Em D
I must be saved before the end
C Em
There’s a wonderful line I can’t remember
D Am
I can’t rewind so I better remember
C
Must be saved
Em D
I must be saved before the end
