1. FAMOUS

A:002220            G:320033 D:x00232  A               G     D
      I know you've tried                I know you've cried  
I know you've died a little inside but 

(C): Baby you could be famous  
You could see your marble face all around  
Baby you could be famous if you could just get out of this town  
Just get out of this town now  
Baby you could be famous  
You could sell the world a new look and sound  
Baby you could be famous if you could just get out of this town  
Just get out of this town now.
  
You sold your soul to rock'n'roll  
Gave up control  But here's your loophole: (C)  

You are the queen of every scene  
You are the king of everything. (C)

2. THE DESPERATE THINGS YOU MADE ME DO

Em:022000          G:320033 D:x00232          G
Time provides the rope  But love will tie the slipknot 

    C:032010      G               D    Em
and I will be the chair you kick away  

    G          D       C                     G           D     C
You don't even like anything you like or the people you know 

    G             D         C               G   D
And all of your reasons to stay alive died 

Em          G         D        C


(C): I dedicate this song to you 

                                   B:224442   Em
for all the desperate things you made me   do  
I'd like to beat you black and blue 
for all the agony you have put me through.  

Front seat stained with love  A back seat full of bibles 
purloined from the drawers of lost motels  
They say when you're older you'll understand you know it's a lie 
'cause you've got a twisted and mangled heart (C) 

Down route 66 you pilfered love and green stamps  
W.C. Fields with Mae West in your eyes  
They say every clock's a blunt instrument crushing the skull  
But you've got a vice to rest your head in. (C)






3. SMOKE AND MIRRORS

D:x00232                  A:002220 E:022100   G:320033
Someone else's world goes by as my train runs through this night
Someone else's rain comes down but no rain can touch me now 

                     D             A               Bm:224432      G
(C): Smoke and mirrors, special effects, a little fear, a little sex

                D             A                  E
That's all love is behind the tears  Smoke and mirrors.  

We were foolish, you and I but there's no reason to cry 
We put on a lovely show but that's all.  I had to go.  (C) 

I don't know the stations' names I'll spend my life on this train (C) 
Fumee et miroirs, effets speciaux, un pue de peur, un peu de sexe  
Sous les larmes l'amour n'est que sa de la fumee et des miroirs.






4. WITH WHOM TO DANCE?

Eb:668886 Bb:688766 Ab:466544 Eb          Bb           Ab 
Moons     in        June      I've given up on that stuff  
Arms have charms but I've no hope of falling in love

(C): The rest of life pales in significance  

    Ab          Eb       Bb            Eb
I'm looking for somebody with whom to dance  
With whom to dance?  With whom to dance?  
I'm looking for somebody with whom to dance.
  
Rings and strings  What use have I for these things?  
Bells and carousels  I'd just be fooling myself.  (C)

    Ab                 Eb      
And you  You look like heaven  

   Bb                       F:8-8-10-10-10-8 or 133211
An angel who stepped from a dream
777 times lovelier than anything I've ever seen.  (C)

5. YOU AND ME AND THE MOON

      D:x00232           G:320033            A:002220
Brian Wilson nineteen-sixty and Vine  Summer kisses 
In a pendleton shirt  Songs and gentle words granted wishes 

         G          D         A
When you look in my eyes I go soft inside 
and the sound of your voice sends shivers up my spine 
and at the slightest touch we're in love, 

A                     D G A               
   you and me and the moon.
  
In a cool gay bar where the people are entertaining
When the sun clocks in we'll still be talking and champagning
Underneath the strobe lights we can dance all night  
I'm a little bit shy you're easy on the eye 
and at the slightest touch we're in love, you and me and the moon.  

When you look in my eyes I go soft inside 
and the sound of your voice sends shivers up my spine 
and at the slightest touch we're in love, you and me and the moon.

so don't look away 'cause my heart couldn't handle it 

          Gb           F             Gb          F         Bbm
there's a fire in your eyes and it's melting the ice in my heart.  

So don't blink an eye  They're so beautiful open 
Just let them cry or the spell will be broken 
The moments in your gaze have been turning to days in my heart.  

Bbm         Ab:466544            Bbm
We've never met and yet we're in love  
Never forget one look is enough just as long as you...

...don't look away  We can never be lovers 
There's one chance to take there won't be any others 
I'll be spending my life with your eyes like a knife in my heart.

It will be twilight soon  Save a secret for the moon  
In a darkened room write it on a black balloon

I know all the saddest people most of them are dead now. (C) (C)

C#m:9-11-11-9-9-9 or 446654  A:577655 or 002220
     All the summer         days 


E:022100                B:799877 or 224442

Walking hand in hand  
Castles in the sand

From the madding crowd pointing up at clouds

Summer, summer, summer slowly turned into fall

       C       G                      D:x00232 
me and my baby doll never went to the beach  
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere was a place we could run 
on the sand with the sun always just out of reach

C                                 D               
Somewhere sunny summer's marching to a different drummer, singing 

 G                              C         G
"Summer, summer, summer's gonna turn into fall

        C         G                     D
you and your baby doll better go to the beach 'cause 

     G
(C): Love is lighter than air it floats away if you let it go  
Love is lighter than air it rises through the falling snow."  


A crime, crime, crime, sin and illness is time 
Neither reason nor rhyme can obstruct his bad dance 
The nasty little swine slipped us mickeys in wine 
Wove his hair into twine and then tied our hands
We're forced to watch him wriggle and endure his fulsome giggle 
and his mime, mime, mime  unforgivable mime  
Our one chance is to climb into blimps of romance 'cause (C)

10. WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND LONELY

G:320033             C:032033       G                    C
When you're old and lonely you will wish you'd married me  
I could build a fire for you and bring you cakes and tea  
When you're cold and hungry I'll be waiting by the phone  
You can call me up and tell me how you're all alone...  All alone...  

When you're old and lonely and the rush of life is past 
Days go by too slowly and the years go by too fast  
When your golden loneliness is heavier than stone 
You can call me up and say "My god, I'm all alone... All alone..."

11. THE VILLAGE IN THE MORNING [Merritt/Robert Scott]

F#:244322 E:022100  B:224442           F#  E         B
       Outside the rain is coming down   Inside it's warm and dry 
You'll never find a cab uptown so why not stay the night?  
Why don't you call in sick tomorrow let's sleep the day away 
I've got pyjamas you can borrow let's take a holiday. 

     E                    B             F#
(C): You can't leave the village in the morning 
when the radio writes poetry for avenue pi 
You get tangled in the wheels of old queen river 
and you can't find the breath to whisper goodbye  
Whisper goodbye.  

Why don't you stay until the weekend  It should clear up by then 
As your resolve begins to weaken we'll become such good friends 
And you could stay until the summer and we can sleep through spring 
And I can telephone my drummer and have her get your things. (C) 

Why don't you stay until we're old and fall in love with life  
Why don't you stay until we're ghosts  We'll only seem to die. (C)

12. ALL THE UMBRELLAS IN LONDON

     G:320033           D:x00232    C:032010 G
If I live through the night I could be all   right 
it'll make a good song or something 
I've been trying to give myself reasons to live 
but I really can't think of one thing  

  G      C     Em:022000  D
I drive around 
I walk around in circles 
'cause I've got no sense of direction 
I guess I've got no sense at all 

   G                      C:032033                  G    C
(C): All the umbrellas in London couldn't stop this rain  
And all the dope in New York couldn't kill this pain  
And all the money in Tokyo couldn't make me stay  
All the umbrellas in London couldn't stop this rain.  

I don't cry anymore I walk out the door 
and I usually keep on walking  
I may sit in a bar where the cocktails are 
but I really don't feel like talking  

I ride around 
and let the darkness fall 
'cause I've got a sense of perfection 
and nothing else makes sense at all. (C)






13. THE DREAMING MOON

D:x00232    A:002220 E:022100
    With an ivory pipe and a cummerbund 
in the dead of night on the Autobahn 
with the long ago on the radio and the dreaming moon...

We were young and in love in a burning town 
but the fire went out I'm alone again now 
and I finally know how cool to be cold with the dreaming moon.  

I'll begin again with another new name 
and a whole new life full of fortune and fame 
but in the 100th year I'll be right back here with the dreaming moon.
