Gorgeous piano song here clunkily transposed to guitar. Opening bars has a gorgeous little transition
that isn't a total nightmare to play which fits into the intro.

You know man cannot live on

In someone else's home movie

[Outro]

Come on up to my room baby

I need a co-star

And I can't afford to be too choosy
