Intro: Am C D (2x)
VERSE
Am
All we are is entertainment
caught up in our own derangement
C Dm Am
Tell us what to say and what to do
Am
All we are are pretty faces,
picture perfect bottled rage
C Dm Am
Packaged, synthesized versions of you
F Dm Am E
We've all made petty fortunes but we can't afford a life
F G Am
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
F Dm Am E
They all scream California and it's toppling empire
F G Am
But can't you see the end is coming soon?
INTERLUDE: Am C Dm
VERSE:
Am
Come one, come all, the new sensations
guarantees then obligations
C Dm Am
Spotlights follow every single move
Am
Basking here on ten foot stages,
pouty lips and oh so jaded
C Dm Am
All as if we have something to prove
CHORUS
F Dm Am E
Despite these petty fortunes we still can't afford a life
F G Am
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
F Dm Am E
They all scream California and it's toppling empire
F G
But can't you see the end is near?
BRIDGE 1
Am F7M (For the transition just put your pinky on D 4th
(relative to the Capo, it's D 3rd))
BRIDGE 2
G Dm
And if we cared at all about this unknown plight
F G5 Ab5 Am
Then we'd do something more to finally make this right
BRIDGE III (3/4 time, on the first quarter note you A
string is played, on the last two quarters, play the G
and the H string twice. Also, play staccato for more
intense 3/4 feeling)
Am
Is this only entertainment? Pull the curtains, places please
C Dm/A Am
We learned to sing and dance and cry on cue
Am
But this is more than entertainment in a world so sick with pain
C Dm/A Am
This is the only thing that's real or true
Chorus
F Dm Am E
We've all made petty fortunes but we can't afford a life
F G Am
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
F Dm Am E
They all scream bloody murder over graves already dug
F G
But can't you see the end?
