Clark Gable Uke tab by The Postal Service (Baritone Chords)

VERSE 1
C                                           Am                         Em
I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London underground when it struck me

C                                            Am                                    Em 
That I've been waiting since birth to find a love that would look and sound like a movie 

C                                Am                          Em
So I changed my plans I rented a camera and a van and then I called you

C                           Am                            Em 
"I need you to pretend that we are in love again" and you agreed to

CHORUS
C                  Am                                         Em       
I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"

C                        Am                           Em
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

INSTRUMENTAL
C Am Em

VERSE 2
C                                 Am                        Em
I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in

C                                 Am                          Em
The script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it

C                               Am                                 Em
The marker snapped and I yelled "quiet on the set" and then called "action!"

C                                Am                                           Em
And I kissed you in a style that Clark Gable would have admired (I thought it classic)

CHORUS
C                  Am                                         Em     
I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"

C                        Am                           Em
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

C                              Am                             Em
I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear

C                                 Am                                Em
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by? 

(I like to speed up my playing here to fit the faster drums)

C                                 Am                        Em 
                                  That you tell yourself to get by?

C                                 Am                        Em
                                  That you tell yourself to get by?
