consider green lakes and the idiocy of clocks 
someone shot nostalgia in the back 
someone shot our innocence 
and all our colors have run 

Abm       B          F# 
a broken arrow in a bloody pool 
Abm                       B       F# 
the wound in the face of midnight proposals 
Abm              B            F# 
someone shot nostalgia in the back 
Abm               B        F# 
someone shot out innocence 
F# 
in the shadow of his...

in the shadow of his smile 
in the shadow of his smile  
in the shadow of his smile 

Abm                  B                 F# 
all our dreams have melted down, we're hiding in the bushes 
Abm          B                   F# 
             from dead men doing douglas fairbanks stunts 
Abm             B          F# 
all our stories burnt, our films lost in the rushes 
Abm                B               F# 
we can't paint any pictures as the moon had all our brushes 
Abm             B                     F# 
                extracting wasps from stings in flight  
Abm             B          F# 
who             killed mr. moonlight 
Abm                   B 
extracting wasps from stings in flight 
F# 
who killed mr. moonlight? 
Abm                   B 
extracting wasps from stings in flight 
F# 
who killed mr.moonlight? 
Abm                   B             F# 
                                    in the shadow of his smile 
Abm                   B             F#
