Lillian

Em      D        Am
She was stuck in pictures,
Em              D       Am
While he passed time in film.
Em       D                Am
Oh silly fame, why do you play?
Em       D             Am
Frame by frame, day by day.
     Em    D        Am
With reels changing over,
    Em       D      Am
And dropping to the sides.
Em         D                   Am
Oh, solemn soul, see where you are.
    Em          D                  Am
And look to the sides, what you discard.

           C
Press your lips to mine,
D#dim      Em       C
Breathe in deep and lie.
         Am      B
When the cameras roll,
      Em  D    A
Hide away your soul.
           Am            B
Flash your eyes, forge a smile.

     G        B         G        B
Entertain but don’t get stuck in something you
Em
hate.

Em
Bring me the eyes of the earth,
                          Am
Cut off the tongue of the world.
         Em           Am
Keep the ends close inside,
       Em           Am
To the means that imply.
        B                           Em
And not living the life that you’re worth.

              C
Pressing your lips to mine,
D#dim      Em       C
Breathe in deep and lie.
         Am      B
When the cameras roll,
      Em       E
Hide away your soul.
              C
Flashing your eyes to sell,
D#dim Em     C
Lying to yourself.
        Am             B
Dodging truth from the start,
      Em  D    A
Hide away your heart.
      Am             B
Turn around, forge a smile.

     G        B         G        B         G
Entertain but don’t get stuck in something painful,
B         G          B
Something worse than nothing.

   Am
We could have been smart,
         C
With the plot from the start.
   D#dim
Mistakes from the spark,
   B              C
We knew it wasn’t love.

D#dim      Em       C
Breathe in deep and lie.
         Am      B
When the cameras roll,
      Em  D    A
Hide away your soul.
           Am            B
Flash your eyes, forge a smile.
     Em
Entertain.
