Em     G     C     G
C      G     D     D

[Verse 1]
Em         G           C          G
We’re in a tin box and I’ve got a toothpick
    C           G          D          D
and I have been poking the air.
Em       G          C              G
Somebody gave you a knife for your birthday,
  C            G              D        D
I think I know who but that’s not my affair.

[Verse 2]
     Em             G               C        G
So I dance down the street like I’m miss Angelina,
   C           G            D          D
my legs are so grounded and strong.
    Em       G             C        G
And I’m not afraid that if I am the skipper,
     C              G        D          D
I’ll steer my flesh into the bog.

[Chorus]
             C                G             C              Em   Em  Em  Em
But is there something in the movies that’s better than my love?
         C                G             D              G
Is there something in the movies that’s better than my love?

[Verse 3]
Em       G               C         G
Carried around a stuffed pig in my arms
      C        G         D          D
and I did it until I was five.
  Em          G           C         G
I got it from someone who died of attention
    C          G           D          D
and lived an extraordinary life.

[Verse 4]
      Em         G          C           G
But I gave it to you on the day that we met
      C         G           D          D
cause already I trusted you best.
Em       G             C             G
Everyone dies but they shouldn’t die young,
   C            G        D          D
anyway you’re invited to set.

[Chorus]
         C                G             C              Em  Em  Em  Em
Is there something in the movies that’s better than my love?
         C                G             D              G
is there something in the movies that’s better than my love?

[Verse 5]
  Em          G              C             G
I left you in life cause you don’t need my pen
     C            G          D          D
to embellish your noteworthy parts
      Em         G           C               G
and I only write songs about things that I’m scared of,
   C                G            D          D
so here, now you’re deathless in art.

[Outro]
      (G)
You’ve got this and the movies and also my love,
       (G)
you can have it all, baby, I’m giving it up.
