Chords for Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson talk Mission: Impossible and "always on" Tom Cruise

_ _ [G] _ _ It's been a long time, [D] Fran.
_ _ _ You have no idea the power I represent.
_ _ _ It knows your
story _ and how it ends.
_ [N] _
_ _ Hi there, it's Claire here and this is NME and I'm here with Rebecca and Simon to talk
about all [F#m] things Mission Impossible.
_ _ [G#m] No wonder you're so cool, you work for the blooming new Musical Express.
[E] Thanks, thanks you guys, thanks.
I wanted to [Bm] ask you how it feels to return, does it
feel [G] like getting the band back together when you come back to the franchise?
What
was it like?
I wish I was a musician, can you imagine how cool if we were?
We did have [E] to just play the xylophone.
We just played the xylophone.
I heard.
It was phenomenal.
How did it go?
They had to take [Bm] it from us.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, but we're just so good.
[F#] And it does feel like coming back together, doesn't it? It does.
[D] It's like a family.
We see each other between films but [F#] because we're all so busy, it's very rare.
_ We're far too busy.
Yeah, we talk a lot on the [Bm] phone and stuff but_
_ I come to your house for lunch now.
[F#] I come to my house but _ the chance to hang out day after day is always fantastic.
[D#m] _ _ [E] _ I've
been on these films for a long time, you've been on these films nearly 10 years.
_ [D] _
Particularly
with me, Tom, Rebecca and Ving, when we all get in a room together, the four of us, it
feels like the team.
So [F#] it's a lovely thing to _ reconvene.
I [E] wanted to ask, because I'm always interested about what [B] actors _ learn from each project
_ [D] and what they take into their real life.
So working [F#m] on Mission Impossible, just generally,
what have you learned from that [E] and how has that informed your actual daily [C#] lives or your real lives?
I think for me, [F#] _
moving into physical roles, I take a lot of what I [D] learn from Tom and
it's not the actual physicality of [E] a move.
It could be as well.
Actually, I've done that
as well.
[B] I've taken liberated little moments thinking this worked really [F#] well. _
But it's
how it's run.
The _ [D] professionality of holding a set and _ making [E] sure everyone feels seen,
I think that is super important.
[Bm] I don't do much at home.
I don't walk home and go, I
see you, husband.
Start [D] sword fighting at home.
_ _ I had to [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ diffuse a nuclear bomb [E] in Aldi.
That was scary but I'm glad I had the skill to
do it.
That whole [Bm] place could have gone up.
What do you mean?
Picking it up.
Oh right, sorry.
[D] _ _
_ I haven't really, [F#m] you know, because Benji's skills are all quite_
It wouldn't have surprised me though.
_ [E] I sadly have a thing for it.
It's like, really, does it happen?
[B] Puzzle solving, Aldi looking at the biscuits.
Yeah.
What does this mean?
I use my phone [D] a lot.
That's quite Benji-ish.
But I did learn to drive [F#m] a boat so I can do
that in real life now.
But would you?
[E] No, when I'm on the Riviera in my flipping craft.
Yeah, this is your own boat.
[C#] Hey darling, I'm just going to go, you know, do my boat stuff.
Sorry.
[Gm] Do my boat stuff today.
[G] _ If anything happens to me, there's no place that I won't go to kill you.
That is written.
So, [Bm] I know that, [E] you know, this film talks about _ technology _ [G] possibly turning against
[F#m] us but if we were in a real Skynet situation, okay, [D] would you join the robot uprising?
[E] Or
would you just go, hey, you know what, enslave me and I just want to live a nice, happy life?
I [Bm] mean, absolutely not.
I'd not go for the second one.
Would you?
No.
I would not go enslave me and do with I as you wish.
Oh yeah, we'd probably just_
I think [E] you'd have to mould into it and find who you are and then you'll know.
We'd form a ragtag group of rebellious sort of humans who'd fight the [F#] robots and eventually conquest.
No, no, we'd find the rogue robot.
Oh yeah, and then we'd make him one of us.
Yeah.
[D] High five.
Miss it.
Woo!
[E] I love it.
And I'm now envisaging your special weapons as like just cutlery.
I don't know,
[G] like butter knives, [F#] spoons.
Anything to hand.
Anything to [G#] hand.
Usually [Dm] all you need is a Benji who can do this arm with a little code.
_ [A] Ethan, what's your objective? _
[A#] _ _ _ What's your [G] ultimate objective?
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [A#] Your life will always matter more [G] to me than my own. _
[D] _ _ [E] Rebecca, you mentioned that [Bm] doing anything with Tom's insane.
He's an insane [F#m] sort of
guy.
I wanted to ask, what have you [D] observed apart from chopping a salad very small into
very small pieces, [E] have you observed about Tom that is strange, [Bm] insane, a bit quirky?
When I mean insane, [D#] I mean the way he manoeuvres and trains and [D] _ he's constantly on, right?
[E] And when he's not on, we don't really know about it because I don't really ask about
it.
[Bm] We all have characters and different sides and we share some or we don't share some.
I [D#] know.
When we're at work, which is when we tend to spend most of our time together, he's on
it the whole time, you know.
But he is also [E] just a guy.
He's just a guy.
He's just a part of us.
[D] And there's the Tom that everybody sees and the Tom that we know, but also that part of
him is also very real, the Tom that people see.
He's just, you know, he's a one man movie making machine.
None of our lives can matter more than this mission.
I don't accept [N] that. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] Finally, because this is NME, I wanted to [D] ask you a music question.
So, [E] does anything
come to mind in terms of when you were filming, what [Bm] bands or albums you would listen to whilst
filming in [F#m] between takes?
_ _ _ _ _ I remember discovering, _ when Wet Leg broke and they had that big moment last year, I
was having a go for a wig fitting and I was [Bm] listening to their album and I listened to
that a lot over that summer when we were shooting.
Wet Leg.
Wet Leg.
I love them.
Dry Hand was a great one.
[E] No, they're real.
No, no, of course they are.
By the time I got to Glastonbury this time last year, [G#] they'd already outgrown the stage
they'd been booked on.
So quick.
It's bonkers.
_ So, the little park stage at Glastonbury, I'd never seen any stage so full because they
should have been on [E] a different stage by that time because they'd got so big.
Anyway, [Bm] I
love those girls and those boys.
_ _ And also, I listen to a lot [F#] of John x2.
Nice.
And what about you?
I mean, actually, [D]
I feel like a Stone Age human being next [E] to you.
You don't like the pop, do you?
You don't like pop music?
What?
[D] No, I don't.
I'm more of a metalhead myself. Are you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Metallica wrote a song for Mission Impossible 2.
I like Metallica.
Yeah.
Did you know that?
I'm like, just some of a down kind of_
Do you also want to hear_
Although I was used to living with them.
[E] Yes.
Go for it.
Do you want to know something else?
Yes.
Should we do the Morse [Bm] code information that we were told?
Oh, this is an amazing fact. Yeah. Go on.
What do you say?
Well, I think you will say it better and then I'll learn for the next time.
Well, Dave from Dermot and Dave, [F#m] an Irish radio show, told us that when Laila [E] Shifrin
wrote the original music_
I've got to take over.
I can find myself [Bm] going_
No, no, go, go, go.
_ It's dun, dun, two [D] dashes, dun, dun, two dots, M-I.
[F#m] No! _
Stop it, it's true.
Absolutely true.
[E] Thank you very much for sharing that with me.
Isn't that fantastic?
[A#m] Just credit Dermot and Dave.
Thank you.
And [F#] honestly, good luck with the movie.
It was so fun.
[F] Thank you.
Thank you very much.
