Pictures On A Video Screen

Tom: Am

   Cadd9/G                    Am
I open up one eye and I can see
   Dm           F                E
A million TV screens from wall to wall
     C          C7             F
And as I look again it seems to me
      Cadd9        G           Cadd9
My picture is projected on them all

[Verse 2]
From far away I see my body now
I can follow every movement that I make
But I can't remember where I am or how,
Or wether I am dreaming or awake

[Chorus 1]
           G                                   C
Sooner or later, I'll believe the world's not round,
                   A7                 F
I'll turn up the vision, turn up the sound
              C            E              Am  F
For I have discovered that I'm not what I seem,
           C      G              C
I'm only a picture on a video screen
                G                                  C
And sooner or later, when the night comes rolling down,
              A7              F
Fear and confusion are all around
                  C                 E               Am F
I know that the problems and the nightmares that I dream
           C     G               C
Are only pictures on a video screen

[Verse 3]
And as I rise to get myself another drink,
It seems like I'm some distance from my brain
I'm looking down and I begin to think
This must be what it's like to go insane

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
           G                                   C
Sooner or later, I'll believe the world's not round,
                   A7                 F
I'll turn up the vision, turn up the sound
              C            E              Am  F
For I have discovered that I'm not what I seem,
           C      G              Am
I'm only a picture on a video screen
