[Verse 1]
Gb       Gbmaj7
Start at eight
Gb7          B
See what you know
Bm            Gb                   Db7sus4  Db7
What have you been through, make a list
    Gb        Gbmaj7
Now scrap the page
   Gb7          B
Forget what you wrote
 Bm              Gb        Db7sus4 Db7 Gb
Writing ain't supposed to be easier,  no
       Gb       Gbmaj7
You've read the news
    Gb7          B
And none of that worked
   Bm            Gb            Db7sus4  Db7
To help you make art you don't hate
    Gb      Gbmaj7
But someone whispered
     Gb7           B
"The big screen is cool"
   Bm             Ebm7        Db7sus4 Db7 Gb
So let's kill the blues at the talkies today

[Bridge]
Ebmaj7        Bb        Dbmaj7    Ab
We'll hit the cinema as violence abounds
    B         Ab7              Fm7   Bb7
And Joker the Clown spoils the day
      Ebmaj7          Bb              Dbmaj7      Ab
On my phone there's a photograph or a minute long clip
  B           Ab7           Db7sus4  Db7
I opt against work to watch this

[Verse 2]
   Gb       Gbmaj7 Gb7             B
So here you sit in darkness locked in
     Bm         Gb               Db7sus4         Db7
Your art may be richer, but your brain turned to shit
  Gb        Gbmaj7       Gb7          B
I tried the news, and it made me feel sick
    Bm         Ebm7          Db7sus4 Db7 Gb
The Joker took armistice and blew it to bits

[Bridge]
Ebmaj7        Bb            Dbmaj7      Ab
I once heard it said that a man and his heart
       B            Ab7                Fm7   Bb7
Could change if you listened more than spoke
    Ebmaj7   Bb            Dbmaj7    Ab
But now I'm afraid that my listening days
     B            Ab7        Db7sus4  Db7
Will end when the credits do roll

[Verse 3]
      Gb  Gbmaj7        Gb7      B
Don't be alarmed if the chaos on screen
Bm            Gb         Db7sus4     Db7
  Begins to resemble the world as it be
       Gb        Gbmaj7   Gb7            B
You've come this far, and now you should see
    Bm     Ebm7                  Ab7    Db7     Gb
The uncanny parallels 'tween the talkies and... me
