Verse:
DD+ GM7 F#7
On a string I was held the way I move, can you tell?
E- AD7
My actions are orchestrated from above
DD+ GM7 F#7
So I swing and I sway wave my hands kick my legs
E- AD7
And it's always right with the music
G-
(Until all that swinging starts to make you sick)
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bright_eyes/false_advertising_crd_ver_3.html )
DD+ GM7 F#7
For a song I was bought, now I lie when I talk
E- AD7
With a careful eye on the cue card
DD+ GM7 F#7
Onto a stage, I was pushed with my sorrow well rehearsed
E- ADD7
So give me all your pity and your money now, all of it
G-
(We used to think that sound was something pure)
Bridge:
E- AF#B- GAB-
If I could act like this was my real life and not some cage where I've been placed
E- AF#B- GAB-
Then, I could tell you the truth like I used to and not be afraid of sounding fake
GAD
Now all that anyone's listening for are the mistakes
(I'm sorry!)No it's okay, it's okay. 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3!
...The rest of the song just repeats the chord pattern in the verse until the end.
End the song with a G-
