[Intro]
G Bm F C Am G Am C
G Bm F C Am G Am C
Ooh

[Verse]
G                      Am
Activity’s killing the actor
      D                         C     Am               F   D
And a cop’s standing out in the road, turning traffic away
G                                     Am
There was nothin’ she could do until after
         D                     C   Am              F   D
When his body’d been buried below, way back in the day

[Chorus]
Em Am Em                           C
Oh my, nothing else could have been done
G        G/F#   Em  C   Fmaj7
Made his life a lie so
Em  Am  Em                    C
He might never have to know anyone
G        G/F#     Em      C     Fmaj7
Made his life the lie you know

[Verse]
G                              Am
I told him that he shouldn’t upset her (ooh)
              D                 C     Am                 F      D
And that he’d only be making it worse involving somebody else (ooh)
G                             Am
But I knew that he’d never forget her (ooh)
          D                   C       Am                    F      D
While her memory worked in reverse to keep her safe from herself (ooh)

[Chorus]
    Em Am  Em                           C
And oh my, nothin’ else could have been done
G   G/F#     Em     C      Fmaj7
She made her life a lie so (ooh)
Em  Am    Em                   C
She might never have to know anyone
G        G/F#      Em     C    Fmaj7
Made her life the lie you know

[Instrumental]
G Bm F C Am G Am C

[Outro]
G    Bm  F          C    Am    G        Am         C
What I   used to be will pass away and then you’ll see
     G   Bm   F   C      Am   G        Am      C
That all I   want now is happiness for you and me
G    Bm  F      C       Am     G      Am           C
What I  used to be will pass away and then you’ll see
     G   Bm F    C      Am    G       Am      C
That all I  want now is happiness for you and me
G    Bm F       C       Am   G        Am          C
What I  used to be will pass away and then you’ll see
     G   Bm F   C      Am   G        Am      C
That all I want now is happiness for you and me
G   Bm F    C      Am    G       Am      C
All I  want now is happiness for you and me
G Bm F C Am G Am C
G Bm F C Am G Am C
