Celebrity Death

Intro F#m

Verse 1

F#m                               
      Your baby and wife took a 
  D, D2
walk on the beach on a Saturday
A         C#m
      By Monday pictures dressed in 
bold font
F#m                       D, D2
      The only thing that inspired 
you was the everyday,
A                    C#m
      And that’s the only thing that
 they didn’t want.
F#m                         D, 
      The green lights your way, who
D2
 does it illuminate?
A         C#m
How many men reside in your face?
F#m                      D, D2
      And which one got everything 
you wanted?
        A                          
When all the world’s a stage, does 
 C#m
everything seem worthless and fake?
F#m                    D, D2

                          A
'Cause I've seen you live so many 
lives.

       F#m                      
Oh, adopted a guise that put you 
  D, D2
under these lights,
                    A          C#m
what a cruel design,   that I saw 
you more than most of my friends
F#m                        D, D2
        Now tears roll down 
                 A
cheeks from eyes of suspended 
disbelief
           C#m
        To watch a special news 
bulletin

F#m                     D, D2

                          A
Saying, "I've seen you live so many 
lives.
     C#m
Oh what's one more?
F#m                     D, D2

                  A              
Why won't you rise from the grave 
           C#m
like you done before?"

Chorus

        D                       A
'Cause they only wanted to see
           C#m                     
if your eyes shine like in the 
    F#m
films of you
        D                       A
'Cause they only want to believe
            C#m                    
that they knew you well themselves
     F#m

                  D             
Oh but of course they don't look 
            A
like that
            C#m                    
That took seven hours of make-up 
     F#m
and a special lens cap

F#m
Oh...

Verse 2

Confidants' confidence dies, tongues
 cluck and tears dry
How are you surprised?
That nameless sadness lives for all 
time
'Cause drinks don't stay cold and 
smoke leaves ash like a soul
and clouds all the voices of safety
I thought for a moment, yeah, maybe 
I was alone
Just to feel an ounce of regret
But that didn't occur once to the 
lunch ladies
They had a cup of tea and a 
cigarette
They didn't waste any precious time 
saying kind things
'Cause the whole appeal is to rely 
on the face of things

Chorus

D                       A
'Cause they only wanted to see
           C#m                     
if your eyes shine like in the 
    F#m
films of you
        D                       A
'Cause they only want to believe
            C#m                    
that they knew you well themselves
     F#m

                  D             
Oh but of course they don't look 
            A
like that
            C#m                    
That took seven hours of make-up 
     F#m
and a special lens cap



             D              
On certain days it's hard to 
          A
remember that
C#m                [hold]
Even for you
