  E                                     
 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?
