A7 |E7 |B7+5
When I was born my mother died
|Gmaj7 C#m7-5 |Cmaj7
She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye
F# |G#m | |
I said, "Where you goin'?
F#dim Em |D
I'm just born"
|E E/D# |E/D
She said I'll only be gone for a while
C#7 |F#9 |
My mother loved to leave in style
B | |E7 |A7 |E7 |
That's why God made the movies
A7 |E7 |B7+5
Well I laid around in my swaddling clothes
|Gmaj7 C#m7-5 |Cmaj7
Until the doctor came and turned out the light
F# |G#m |
Then I packed my bag
|F#dim Em |D
And my nametag
|E E/D# |E/D
And stole away into the night
C#7 |F#9 |
Hoping things would work out right
B | |E7 |
That's why God made the movies
E D/F# E/G# |A |
Say you will, say you will
G#m F#m |Emaj7 |
Say you'll take me to your loving breast
|F#m7 |
Say you'll nourish me with your tenderness
B9 |C#m |
The way the ladies sometimes do
B E D/F# E/G# |A |
Say you won't, say you won't
G#m F#m |Emaj7 |
Say you won't leave me for no other man
|F#m7 E B/D#|
Say you'll love me just the way I am
Tacet |
Say you will, baby now
|E7 |
Say you will, just say you will
A7 |E7 |
Say you will
A7 |E7 |B7+5
When I was born my mother died
|Gmaj7 C#m7-5 |Cmaj7
She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye
F# |G#m |
And since that day
|F#dim Em |D
I've paid my way
|E E/D# |E/D
The notorious boy of the wild
C#7 |F#9 |
Adopted by the wolves when he was a child
B | |
That's why God. That's why God.
|E7 |
That's why God made the movies
Repeat and fade:
E7 |A7 |
