B Movie Elvis Costello
E A B E
I found America hiding in the corner of my wallet
B
It's a well kept secret, thought that I had better swallow it
F#m D
Before they make me spit out the truth
G C B
Before they find you're lying about your youth
E A B E
B movie, that's all you are to me
Just a soft soap story
B
Don't want the woman to adore me
F#m B
You can't stand it when it goes from real to reel
F#m B
Too real too real
F#m A C
You can't stand it when I throw punch lines you can feel
C#m F#m C#m
All the time, there's a rule book in Brittania
F#m C#m
That no one ever waives
E
And everybody's on the make
B
It's not your heart I want to break
E
Turn out the lights
A B E
I'm thinking that I want to go to sleep now
B
Just give me a promise that I'm supposed to keep now
F#m D
I don't want some fool asking me why
G C B
When I find you're finally making me cry
(Chorus)
C
you can feel. you can feel. you can feel. . . .
