Method Acting Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]There's no beginning to the story
A bookshelf [Bm]sinks into the sand
[C]And a language learned and forgot in turn
Is [G]studied once again
[D]It's a sho[Em]cking bit of footage
Viewed from [Bm]a shitty TV screen
[C]You can squint at it
Just snowy static
[G]To make out the mean[D]ing
[G]And keep on stretch[Em]ing the antenna
Hoping that [Bm]it will come clear
We [C]need some reception
A higher message
Just tell [G]us [D]what to fear
[Am]'Cause I

[Verse 2]
don't know [D]what
tomorrow [Am]bring[Em]s
[Am]It's alive with [D]such possibilit[Em]ies
[Am]All I know is [D]I feel better
when [C]I sing
Burdens are [B]lifted from me

[Interlude 1]
That's my voice rising
[Em][B][Bm][G][Bm]
[C]
[G][D]
[Em][D][Am][C][Bm]
[C][G][D]

[Verse 3]
So Michael, [Em]please keep the tape rolling
Boys [Bm]keep strumming those guitars
We need [C]a record of our failures
Yes, we must [Cm]docum[G]ent our [D]love
I have sat [Em]too long in my silence
I have grown [Bm]too old in my pain
To shed [C]this skin, be born again
[G]Oh, it starts with [D]an ending
[Am]So thank you f[D]riends for
the time we [Em]shared
My [Am]love stays with you
[D]like sunlight [Am]and [Em]air
And [Am]though I truly [D]wish I could
keep [G]hanging [C]around here
My joy is [B]covering me, [Bm]soon I will disappear
[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[Bm][C][G][D]
[Em][C]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]It's
[C]not[G] a [C]movie
[G]No private screen[Am]ing
This method acting
Well, [D]I call it living, yeah
[C]It's like a fountain
[G]A door [Bm]has opened
[Am]We have a problem
[D]With no solution but to love
[C]And to be [B]loved

[Verse 5]
So I've [Am]made [D]peace with the fallen [Em]leaves
I [Am]see their same fate [D]in my own [Em]body
But [Am]I won't be frightened [D]when I'm
awoken from [C]this dream
And re[B]turn to that which gave
birth to [Em]me
[Bm]

[Verse 6]
[C]
Gave birth to me, gave [D]birth to [G]me,
gave birth [Am]to me[Em][Bm]
And [C]the story goes,
and [G]the story goes
[Em]And it g[C]oes on and on a[Am]nd on and on
It's [C]going on [Bm]and on and on and on
It's [D]going on [C]and on and on [D]and on
It's going on and on [Bm]and on [Em]and on
It's going on and on [D]an d on and on
It's [Bm]going on and on and on and on
It's [D]going on and on [C]and on and on and
On and on [D]and on and on [C]and on
[B]
