===========================================================
INTRO
EbG7 CmAb

VERSE
             Eb                 Bb7
You had your grand illusion and wrestled with your fate
    Fm/Ab                          G7
The winter of your discontent came twenty years too late
          Cm             Cm/Bb      F/A                Ab6
If it was love and I was there I've forgotten where it lives
        Eb            Bb            Ab
We both stepped off a frozen rock onto a burning bridge
VERSE
    Eb                        Bb7
You came like an invasion all bells and whistles blowing
Fm/Ab                      G7
Reaping the rewards of the fable you'd been sowing
  Cm                Cm/Bb       F/A               Ab6
I saw you cross the landing and descending marble stairs
     Eb                 Bb                    Ab
Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon you seemed to walk on air
CHORUS
    Eb                 G7
And yea I've seen your movie
      Cm              Cm/Bb
And I read it in your book
    Ab                   Eb
The truth just flew off every page
     G7
Your songs have all the hooks
       Cm            Cm/Bb
You're seven wonders rolled in one
    Am7b5           Ab6
You shifted gear to cruise
       Eb             G  Ab
Oh you came to town in headlines
          Bb9            Eb
And eight hundred dollar shoes

Oh the bellboys are crying and moneys changing hands
     Fm/Ab                                  G7
Your cloak and dagger legacy's gone home to no man's land
    Cm                 Cm/Bb           F/A             Ab6
The marquee lights are flickering your poster's fading fast
     Eb              Bb              Ab6
Your being here just melts away like ice cubes in a glass
CHORUS
    Eb                 G7
And yea I've seen your movie
      Cm              Cm/Bb
And I read it in your book
