Verse 1

Am                           D
Think me and you could maybe use a lost weekend
Am                    C
I've been losing all my friends
Am                   D
I wave another empty bottle in your face,
Am                  C
Like I'm hitting it hard
              Am
But it's just pretend
                 D
'cos you know I'm not
C                           G
   I wouldn't know where to start
     G/F#       Am
I've been there before
               D
I went and got lost,
           C                          G            G/F#
Always the back end of this pantomime horse


Verse 2

Am                              D
All we seem to do these days is wave our arms and yell
Am                  C
   Other people are hell
Am                                   D
And what's that song you're singing, everybody hurts?
Am              C
  And everybody lies,
               Am
Don't wanna remember,
            D
too many regrets
C               G
     And no cigarettes
     G/F#      Am
'cos I'm not a smoker,
             D
But I said I was
         C                         G
And the elevator stuck between the floors
   G/F#       Am
Is getting to me
               D
Don't let him forsake you
C                              G
Rack 'em up and knock 'em down again
       G/F#       Am
You're changing direction
                    D
I won't know where I was
    C                         G
The back end of the pantomime horse
   G/F#       Am
Is getting to me

Chorus

Am        G
Ooooooooh delay              (lyrics? possibly odelay)
C          G         Am
Maestro, a drum roll please
Am                 D strum once
This is the golden age

E|-------2--3--------|

Verse 3

Am                D
Staring down the corners of the room
Am              C
Another nowhere town
Am                        D
When everything I sing is in a minor key
Am                 C
I have to write it down,
             Am
Or I won't remember
                 D
Then I'll get it wrong
C                              G
                This isn't the song,
             G/F#        Am
I'm thinking I'm not the singer
                 D
That I thought I was
       C                     G
In the solitude before the applause
   G/F#       Am
Is getting to me

Chorus

Am           G
Ooooooooooh delay
C         G         Am
Maestro a drum roll please
Am                 D strum once
This is the golden age

E|------2--3----------|

Outro
