The Magazine

F           C
You haven't left your house in
F      C
Over a week
F              C
Tonight you're thinking of going out
G
To grab a couple drinks
F                     C
But you don't want to see them, no
           F            C
They don't know who you are.
F
They get a brief glimpse
    C
and then you just shut it down
G
You know you close yourself off.

[Chorus]
             Am             G               F   C
Because they only know whats written in the magazines
Am                   G          F       C
They don't know your weaknesses or your dreams
Am                   G       F        C
But we wanna see you hanging downtown again,
Am              G                 C
Baby we want to know where you've been.

[Verse]
        F                   C
Now you wait for someone to call you
Continues after the ad
       F                 C
Just so you can not pick up
                              F           C
You know it seems you've been missing the phone calls
G
More than you've been missing us
         F
And I'll give you space
          C
And I can make a promise
         F
When you finally grow up
     C
I'll be long gone
          F          C
And I was hoping, my friend,
           F
You'd come around
      C          G
But I can't just stick around and wait forever.

[Chorus]
  Am              G              F   C
I only know whats written in the magazines
Am                G                  F         C
I don't know your weaknesses I don't know your dreams
Am            G               F             C
I was kidding myself to think we were still friends
Am           G          C
And maybe we have never been.

[Bridge]
C
Will you really do whatever it takes?
           G               C
Or are you too set in your ways?
C                               F
Could you stand up for yourself?
         G            C
Come on, say it to my face.

[Chorus]
Am              G            F   C
I don't want to read another magazine
Am             G              F            C
I've seen your weaknesses and dreamed your dreams
Am                    G        F       C
I've got some time to kill for you, my friend
Am             G      C
and you know I always will.

[Chorus]
Am              G            F   C
I don't want to read another magazine
Am             G              F            C
I've seen your weaknesses and dreamed your dreams
Am                    G        F       C
I've got some time to kill for you, my friend
Am             G      C
and you know I always will.
