[Eb]
[G]
It's just a [C] bad movie [G] where there's no [D]
crying.
Handing the [C] keys to me [G] in this red [D] line.
Where [G] the love that you loved [C] in the streets [D] says there's no crying.
When the [C] breath that you breathe in the streets screams [G] there's no [D]
silence.
When you [C] look how [G] you look [C] then to me then [Em] I see [D]
silence.
And fall [C] into
[G] silence.
[C] [Em] [D]
[G] It's just a [C] life story so there's [D] no climax.
No [G] more new [C] territory so pull away [G] the [D]
IMAX.
In the [C] slot that you sliced through the scene there was [G] no [D]
China.
In [C] the slot [Gm] that you passed through [C] YouTube there was [E] [D] no pity.
No [C] fading building [G] kids on [C] a kid in [Em] a big [D]
city.
And no [C]
head to [G] a costly [C] parade [Em] that's for [D] him only.
No [C] dish off to [G] a sliver [Em] of grey that's his [D] new lady.
Where she [C]
looks [G] just like green [C] and the flickering [Em] pain of some great [D] movie.
[Em] I am [C] watching.
[G] [Em] I am
[D] watching.
[C] [G] [C]
[Em] I [D] am watching.
[C] [G] [C]
I [D] am watching.
[C]
[Em] I [D] am watching.
[Em]
I [G]
[E] [C]
[G]
[C]
am [Em] [D]
watching.
It was [C] heart hurting but [G] not for too [D] long.
In the [C] socket you [Dm] spin from [C] with ease there [G] is no [D] sticking.
From the [C] speakers your [G] fake [C] masterpiece comes [G] serenely [D] dribbling.
And when the [C] air around [G] you circles [C] beat that [Em] the [D] fire's leaking.
Beneath the [C] claw of [G] a clean [C] metal beast [Em] it's got a cold [D] clicking.
Like a [C] fro at [G] his enemies [C] he takes [Em] two weeks [D] to switch it.
[C] I'm [G] [C] moving.
[Em] [D] I'm moving.
[C] [G] [C]
[G] [D] I'm [C] [G] [C]
[G] [D] moving. I'm moving.
[C] I'm [G] moving.
