IÂ’ve Heard that Tear Stained Monologue You Do There by the Door Before You Go

INTRO: C G F C G F
C F G C G F C G F
Sometimes I get the feeling IÂ’ve passed this way one time in life before
C F G C G F C
Like the rerun of some movie IÂ’ve seen a thousand Saturdays ago
Am D G
I know exactly what your gonna say before it happens in each scene
C F G
And I find myself rehearsing for that blackout situation
C G F
Where the punchline reaches out and punches me
C F G C G F C G F
I always play the same part; the good guy gets the girl, I wind up dead.
C F G
Who rides into the sunset when the credits start to roll and flash upon the
C G F C
screen inside my head
Am D G
The show is done, the lights go up, I throw my empty popcorn box away
Am D G
Go back to unreality on rubber legs, I walk into the day
(Bridge)
Am D
Life is never logical, the faces change, the lines all stay the same
Am D
I know the cues where I came in, the exits but I canÂ’t recall your name
C F G C GF
So save your breath, donÂ’t tell me how it all comes out, somehow I think I know
C F G C
IÂ’ve heard that tear stained monologue you do there by the door before you go.
Am D G
What makes me take you by the hand and stand around in line one time again
Am D
Just to see the same old madness.. well, I ask you ainÂ’t this the place where I
G
came in?
C F G C G F C
So save your breath, donÂ’t tell me how it all come out, somehow I think I know
C F G C
IÂ’ve heard that tear stained monologue you do there by the door before you go.
(end song on held C chord)
This work is entirely my own creation made especially for you on a Mac!
