Ramsay Fiction - Playing Dead

      [Verse]
C                          G
Teach me how to be real and
                      F
Show me how to understand
                    G
Don't let me swallow
C                             G
And what's it like to be alive
                                   Bb
Where do all those good things hide
Bb  
Toss me a line

[Chorus]
F            G                 C
Don't pick me up off the ground
            E
I'll be fine in a lost and found
F                G                Am
Just when I start to force a smile
                   Bb     Am
Just when I'm laughing all the while
F            G
I've been faking

       Am     C     C     F     G    
Playing dead

[Verse]
C               G             Bb
And I would wrap myself in stitches
         Am                 Ab
If you'd wrap yourself in me
            G
And I would wrap myself in blue
C           G                Bb
You could be the sunshine and
          Am                 Ab
I would be the choice at hand
             Ab    Bb
Yeah you'd be so in demand

[Chorus]
F            G                 C
Don't pick me up off the ground
            E
I'll be fine in a lost and found
F                G                Am
Just when I start to force a smile
                   Bb     Am
Just when I'm laughing all the while
F            G
I've been faking it

       Am     C     Em     F     Ab       G  
Playing dead

[Break]
C G Am F
Oooh
C G Am F
Ahhh
Ab  G
Ooh ah

C G Bb Am Ab
Bup bup bup bup   
G    Bb
Ahh  ah

[Bridge]
C                G
I could be the turpentine
                Bb
I could be the licorice
                Am
I could be the winning one
                 Ab
I could be the parting gift
Bb   G
Ahh  ah

[Chorus]
F            G                 C
Don't pick me up off the ground
            E
I'll be fine in a lost and found
F                G                Am
Just when I start to force a smile
                   Bb     Am
Just when I'm laughing all the while
F            G
I've been faking it

       Am     C     Em     F     Ab       G  
Playing dead
C     Am   G   Em     F     Ab       Bb   Am        
I'm playing dead   

[Outro]
C                            C6    
But its all been just for pretend
Am               Ab    
Maybe you can pretend
   Ab          Am   Bb    C#m  
To bring me to life  again
        C
Sometime
