Clark Gable

G                                 
I was waiting for a cross-town 
          Em                       
train in the London underground 
  Bm
when it struck me

G                                 
That I've been waiting since birth
           Em                      
 to find a love that would look and
              Bm
 sound like a movie

G                                
So I changed my plans I rented a 
Em                          Bm
camera and a van and then I called 
you

G                           Em   
"I need you to pretend that we 
                         Bm
are in love again" and you agreed to

CHORUS
G                  Em        
I want so badly to believe that 
                                 Bm
"there is truth, that love is real"

G                        Em      
And I want life in every word to 
                     Bm
the extent that it's absurd

VERSE 2
G                                 
I greased the lens and framed the 
Em                        Bm
shot using a friend as my stand-in

G                                 
The script it called for rain but 
Em                          Bm
it was clear that day so we faked it

G                               
The marker snapped and I yelled 
Em                                 
"quiet on the set" and then called 
Bm
"action!"

G                                
And I kissed you in a style that 
Em                                
Clark Gable would have admired (I 
           Bm
thought it classic)

CHORUS
G                  Em        
I want so badly to believe that 
                                 Bm
"there is truth, that love is real"

G                        Em      
And I want life in every word to 
                     Bm
the extent that it's absurd

G                            
I know you're wise beyond your 
  Em                             Bm
years, but do you ever get the fear

G                                 
That your perfect verse is just a 
Em                                
lie you tell yourself to help you 
Bm
get by?

(I like to speed up my playing here 
to fit the faster drums)

G                                 
                                  
Em                        Bm
That you tell yourself to get by?

G                                 
                                  
Em                        Bm
That you tell yourself to get by?
