How come my life ain't like this movie?
C#m
I should try to look some more like that.
    F#m                   A
And maybe then I could be a movie star,
 C#m                        A                 E
And maybe then you'd always laugh at my jokes.
E
Cuz life would be just like this movie,
   C#m
and I would never feel alone. In fact,
          F#m                      A
all the problems that I have would go away,
       C#m                 A
and I would forget how to feel sad.

        A                       B
Cuz this silver screen that I'm looking at
    E                  A              A
is making me a little bored of my life cuz
         A         B
its not what I'm looking at,
        E           A          A
Cuz this has so much more of excitement,
 A             B                E          A
thrills, and adventurous things in every life.
     F#m                  B
And a sparkle is the reflection in my eye.

E    A       F#m   A
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
      E                  A
If only the shows were as real as the glows
          D         
then we'd never see the same,
         B
but I guess we'll never know.
  E      A     F#m     A
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba.
     E                  A
Well they showed it, and we bought it.
           F#m                B
So you see it's not just me, its sweet - It's in the movie.

E                            C#m
She wants a better body and some super model moves.
          F#m                      A                    
Cuz in her head she's always been the ugly one.
     C#m               A
Well hey, we think we're ugly too.
        E                      
And it's true that we will never know 
  C#m
all of the things that she could have known.
        F#m                                     A
Well I wonder when she thought it was that she would win?
    C#m          A
Cuz man she got so thin.

 A    B        C#m                    E           A  B  C#m          
Every now and then she would start to pretend like she was a star and in the 
E
movies they're in.
 A        B             C#m
But it's atrange cuz it seems
                E
there's never happy endings.
  A        B
Is it make believe?
