Tom: Am Am Em Tell me something stupid Bm F Auction off my diary Em F Life is getting esoteric Bm G Let me in your movie Am Em Each time i walk out the door G Bm Someone mixes metaphors F Em Am Life is so much cleaner on the page Chorus 1: G Am It's like the morning when i'm dreaming G Am And everything is so pristine G Am It's just a seven hour movie G Am And i'm in every scene Verse 1: Am Em Let me in my t.v. Bm F Get this tape to tori Em G Got to have a subplot Bm G When i sell them my life story Am Em Maybe i should write it first G Bm And do the living later F Em Am 'cause life is so much cleaner on the page Chorus 2: G Am It's like the time i lost my body G Am And then i saw it on t.v. G Am Somehow it shed a whole dimension G Am But it still looked like me G Am (hey! that looks like me!) Chorus 3: Am Em Each time i write lines for it G Bm Someone improvises it F Em Am Life is so much cleaner on the page F Em Am Life is so much cleaner on the page
