[G] [Am] [G]
[C]
[Em] a god awful [Gm] small affair
To [A] a girl with a mousy [Dm] hair
[Am] And her mommy [F] is yelling [B] no
[G]
And her daddy has told her to [C] go
[G] But her friends are nowhere to [Gm] be seen
As she [Am] walks [A] through her sunken [Dm] dream
[Am]
To the seat where the clear is [G] few
And she's hooked to the silver [Gm] screen

Cause [Eb] she's lived it ten [Ab] times or more
It's about to be lived [Fm] again

[A] From Ibiza to the North [Dm]
across
[F] Roberts and Eurydice [G] clowns
To my mother, my dog and [Bb] clowns
[B] But the film is a [Cm] saddening bore
