G

A con man sells a fool a "get love quick" scheme

F Am G

I felt a hole like this, never before and ever since

[Chorus]

C Am

If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary

G

What we thought was for all time was momentary

C Am

Still alive, killing time at the cemetery

G

Never quite buried

[Post-Chorus]

F Am

You cinephile in black and white

G

All those plot twists and dynamite

F Am

Mr. Steal-Your-Girl, then make her cry

G

Said I'm the love of your life

[Bridge]

Dm Em

You shit-talked me under the table

F

Talking rings and talking cradles

I wish I could unrecall

Dm

How we almost had it all

Em

Dancing phantoms on the terrace

F

Are they second-hand embarrassed

G

That I can't get out of bed

C Am

'Cause something counterfeit's dead

G

It was legendary

C Am

It was momentary

It was unnecessary

G

Should've let it stay buried

[Chorus]

F

Oh, what a valiant roar

Am

What a bland goodbye

G

The coward claimed he was a lion

F Am

I'm combing through the braids of lies

G

I'll never leave, never mind

F Am

Our field of dreams engulfed in fire

G

Your arson's match, your somber eyes

F Am

And I'll still see until I die

G

You're the loss of my life
