  You came to me in the hospital ward when I blew out my knee
 G             C                        G      Cm6 Cm 
  But I wasn't there to be cared for or carried
 G             C            G                       C                
  'Cause I was asleep in my bed, in my house at the end of our street
 G                 C                         G      Cm6 Cm 
  While you drove across town at 3:00 in the morning
        G            Em6 
 It was fake for the sake
    C          B7          Em  /D 
 Of making you take me for real
       C                 Am     G      C G Cm6 Cm 
 But I guess you're even less impressed
 
 G                  C                G                   C               
  If the world is a stage, and we're all of us actors in some cosmic play
 G         C          G         Cm6 Cm 
  I am the man at the masquerade
         G            Em6 
 Who was fake for the sake
    C          B7          Em  /D 
 Of making you take me for real
       C                 Am     B7     
 But I guess you're even less impressed
 Em  /D C         B7      C      
 I keep trying to paint a picture
 Em      /D      C  /C /D /D# 
  'cause what I drew
 Em          C                 B7  
  Could be improved if I could make
 Em   /D C     B7        C      
 You see more flame than flicker
 Em     /D    C   /C /D /D# 
 These half-truths
 Em         /D#   /D             /C# 
  Could be improved with less of me
 C         G  C G Cm6 Cm         G     Em6/C# /C# /D /D# 
  And more you   believe what I speak
 Em           /D#   /D /C# 
  At least just keep
 C            G  C /C /D /D# G 
  Speaking to me
