Intro:
Em7  Em6  Em  (listen to a recording for the rhythms)
I'm an aEm7ctor, a web-voyeur
I'm a fAm7all-down follow-through
Trying hard to fEmind somebody
And Gbe somebody
Like we're Am7all supposed to D2do
Any Em7day now the lights will change
And we'll Am7all be forced to go
Running with our hEmeads down
Hiding our eGyes from people
Am7We don't kD2now
MCaybe I'm just cDynical
I could cEmare less than I Gdo
It's a fCeeling I've grown tDired of
Haven't Emyou?
When I fCinally leave it aDll behind
Maybe yEmou'll be leaving tGoo
But it's oCadd9bvious you're cD2ynical
You dCadd9on't believe in mD2iracles
Em7   Am7
Em7   Am7
It's aEm7mazing colour dreams of things
I can Am7see in monochrome
I can buy a pEmrime-time body
With pGart-time money
From the coAm7mfort of my hoD2me
We're so Em7lazy, we're soap-box heroes
And we've Am7got so much to say
But if I never Emcast my ballot
I wGash my hands and wAm7alk awD2ay
Em7Maybe it's a dream it's a nightmare
Figure we've fAm7allen asleep, we've fallen asleep
And if I cEm7lose my eyes, I'm alone in the room
Can it Am7go any deeper, go any deeper?
MCaybe I'm just cDynical
I could cEmare less than I Gdo
It's a fCeeling I've grown tDired of
Haven't Emyou?
And if I eCver leave it aDll behind
Maybe yEmou'll be leaving tGoo
But it's oCadd9bvious you're cD2ynical
You dCadd9on't believe in mD2iracles
If you Cadd9can't believe your eD2yes
What can I Em7do?Am7

Intro:

Em7 Em6 Em (listen to a recording for the rhythms)

Em7

I'm an actor, a web-voyeur

Am7

I'm a fall-down follow-through

Trying hard to find somebody

And be somebody

Am7 D2

Like we're all supposed to do

Em7

Any day now the lights will change

Am7

And we'll all be forced to go

Running with our heads down

Hiding our eyes from people

Am7 D2

We don't know

C D

Maybe I'm just cynical

Em G

I could care less than I do

C D

It's a feeling I've grown tired of

Haven't you?

C D

When I finally leave it all behind

Em G

Maybe you'll be leaving too

Cadd9 D2

But it's obvious you're cynical

Cadd9 D2

You don't believe in miracles

Em7 Am7

Em7

It's amazing colour dreams of things

Am7

I can see in monochrome

I can buy a prime-time body

With part-time money

Am7 D2

From the comfort of my home

Em7

We're so lazy, we're soap-box heroes

Am7

And we've got so much to say

But if I never cast my ballot

G Am7 D2

I wash my hands and walk away

Em7

Maybe it's a dream it's a nightmare

Am7

Figure we've fallen asleep, we've fallen asleep

Em7

And if I close my eyes, I'm alone in the room

Am7

Can it go any deeper, go any deeper?

C D

Maybe I'm just cynical

Em G

I could care less than I do

C D

It's a feeling I've grown tired of

Haven't you?

C D

And if I ever leave it all behind

Em G

Maybe you'll be leaving too

Cadd9 D2

But it's obvious you're cynical

Cadd9 D2

You don't believe in miracles

Cadd9 D2

If you can't believe your eyes

Em7 Am7

What can I do?
