[Verse 1]
                C
Where there's a hero
              Eb
You'll find a villain
        Am7              Gm7             C6  C
It is a tried and tested most successful bil-ling

               C
They're in the kitchen
               Eb
They're in the bedroom
               Am7              Gm7
They bring the world inside the home
             C6   C
They want to live in


[Pre-Chorus 1]
      Am7    Gm7        C(add9) C
As we look inside their private lives
     Am7           Gm7
It's really me and you
      C
We're watching on the tube
   Ab       Gm7
In just one week
          Fm7       Ebmaj7
You'll be hooked so deep
  Dm7                       G7     G
A daily dose of soap on the screen


[Chorus]
        C6    C    Bb
This is prime time TV
  C6   C    Ab
A real life drama
           C6    C    Bb
As seen on prime time TV
    Ab             G
You cannot turn it off
         C
And walk away


[Verse 2]
             C
The same old story
             Eb
From rags to riches
       Am7             Gm7         C6   C
The conflicting morals of a family busi-ness
             C
You can't predict it (no)
              Eb
The play's so twisted
      Am7
Maybe that's the reason
Gm7          C6   C
Why it's so addic-tive


[Pre-Chorus 2]
        Am7 Gm7     C(add9) C
All the ali-bis and fake surprise
     Am7        Gm7      C
Will Cecil B. DeMille be turning in his grave?
    Ab   Gm7         Fm7     Ebmaj7
But even so like the ratings show
      Dm7
We'll watch it once again
             G7   G
(Yeah) Every time


[Chorus]
               C6    C    Bb
'Cause this is prime time TV
     C6   C    Ab

[Verse 3]
        C
Is it a window?
        Eb
Is it a mirror?
      Am7           Gm7          C6   C
Is it just for entertainment for plea-sure?
             C
So when it's over
              Eb
We're back to people
        Am7              Gm7               C6 C
Just to prove that human touch can have no e--qual

[Pre-Chorus 3]
