-Intro-
EbEbAbBb
    x2 
-Verse- 
            Eb               Eb
Started out like in the movies
            Ab               Ab
But it ended like a bad dream
              Eb                   Eb
Curtain opened, heard the crowd roar
                   Ab             Ab
This one's a repeat, seen it before
-Pre-Chorus-
Eb              Bb                      Ab
   Rewind to the start before it all went wrong
             Bb
Whats going on?
Eb                    Bb                       Ab
   Fast forward to the end, after everyone's gone home
                         Eb
And they've forgotten it all
-Chorus-
                                    Gm Ab
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
                                  Bb Cm
A tragic story, starring you and me
                Gm                Ab
Yell cut we're stuck inside this scene
                            Bb  Eb
This is heartache on the big screen
                                          Gm Ab
The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
                                          Bb Cm
The camera's rolling, and I've forgot my lines
             Gm                 Ab
My script is ripped and now I see
                            Bb  Eb
This is heartache on the big screen
-Interlude-
Eb Eb Ab Bb
Eb Eb        Ab               Bb
      this is heartache on the  big screen
-Second verse- 
           Eb                  Eb
Curtain closes, oh that's cliche
           Ab           Ab
Like a story, of a bad day
               Eb               Eb
Back to square one, where I started
            Ab             Ab
As I stand here, broken-hearted
-Pre-Chorus- 
Eb                    Bb                       Ab
   Fast forward to the end, after everyone's gone home
                         Eb
And they've forgotten it all
-Chorus-
                                   Gm Ab
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
                                  Bb Cm
A tragic story, starring you and me
                Gm                Ab
Yell cut we're stuck inside this scene
                            Bb  Eb
This is heartache on the big screen
                                          Gm Ab
The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time

The camera's rolling, and I've forgot my lines

My script is ripped and now I see
                            Bb  Eb
This is heartache on the big screen
-Bridge- 
Eb Eb Cm Ab
     Eb
If Hollywood could see me now
              Cm
I've got this starring roll
           Ab                                   Eb
But they won't so I'll just keep on acting a fool
-Chorus-
                                   Gm Ab
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
                                  Bb Cm
A tragic story, starring you and me
                Gm                Ab
Yell cut we're stuck inside this scene
                            Bb  Eb
This is heartache on the big screen
                                          Gm Ab
The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
                                          Bb Cm
The camera's rolling, and I've forgot my lines

My script is ripped and now I see
This is heartache on the big screen
