Am
The night is darker than it seems
                     E
But who wants reality?
                              Am       Dm
Truth is extended when you're building dreams
                        E
So don't trust what you see


[Verse 1]
Am
Take one: in a room the day dies
F
And the air gets blue
           Dm                      E
She puts a record on to cover baby cries

Am
Take two: travels on the dance floor
F
Take three: she just walks out the door
Dm                      E
Close up: a tear in her eyes


[Pre-Chorus]
             Am
She's always true when it's time
           F
She can be your partner in crime
       Dm
A lady in the mist
             E
A man in the night

           Am
She can be sweet as sunrise
        F
And any devil in disguise
                 Dm
She'll give love to a kiss
                E
If the angle is right


[Chorus]
     Am
Even standing in the light
            F
I'm forever nobody
Dm
See me burning bright
                E
For a name in a movie

            Am
I live each day in black and white
                   F
Keep the color for TV
Dm                           E
Hey is it a lie every time I die?


[Verse 2]
Am
Cut: she's with a man, she pours wine
F
Killer's point of view:
        Dm                              E
Her naked body from the window, she's divine

Am
One take: in the room 404
F
Blood all around, corpse on the floor
Dm               E
Do another storyline


[Pre-Chorus]
             Am
She's always true when it's time
           F
She can be your partner in crime
       Dm
A lady in the mist
             E
A man in the night

           Am
She can be sweet as sunrise
        F
And any devil in disguise
                 Dm
She'll give love to a kiss
                E
If the angle is right


[Chorus]
     Am
Even standing in the light
            F
I'm forever nobody
Dm
See me burning bright
                E
For a name in a movie

            Am
I live each day in black and white
                   F
Keep the color for TV
Dm                           E
Hey is it a lie every time I die?

[Chorus]
     Am
Even standing in the light
            F
I'm forever nobody
Dm
See me burning bright
                E
For a name in a movie

            Am
I live each day in black and white
                   F
Keep the color for TV
Dm                           E
Hey is it a lie every time I die?

     Am
Even standing in the light
            F
I'm forever nobody
Dm
See me burning bright
                E
For a name in a movie

            Am
I live each day in black and white
                   F
Keep the color for TV
Dm                           E
Hey is it a lie every time I die?
