INTRO 




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?
