E         B/D#
A cinematic masterpiece
   C#m          B
In ashes on the mantelpiece
  A            E/G#         B
A luminescence time could never fade
  E           B/D#
A critically acclaimed release
   C#m       B
An Oscar nominated piece
   A             E/G#  B
In which I had a cameo to play

[Pre-chorus 1]
F#m      A             E             B
From the cradle, as we grow, love is born
          C#m         G#m
Where the memories we find
       F#m             A     B
On the lost and lonely side, hide
F#m      A              E            B
Like the angels cast on snow-covered lawns
       C#m           G#m
So the treasuries of life
          B         B7
Guide the way every day... oh, baby

[Chorus 1]
E    B/D#      C#m   B
Into darkness, movie starlets
D                     A
Spin as the celluloid finds a frame
C                          G         B
Click of the reels as they spool and wind
E    B/D#      C#m        B
Into darkness, screen lit starkness
D                        A
Check if the rushes look fine today
C                         G
Scene after scene ticking time away
Bb                                            C
History's made as we cut to the fade and then die... high

[Verse 2]
   E                     B/D#
So turn the house lights down again
    C#m                  B
The scenes we screen are feature length
    A                   E/G#         B
The life and times, now scripted and complete
            E          B/D#
I know that each PG to rated 18
   C#m                      B
Is worth more now than it's ever been
    A              E/G#          B
For trailers never look the same to me

[Pre-chorus 2]
F#m      A             E             B
From the cradle, as we grow, love is born
          C#m         G#m
Where the memories we find

F#m      A              E            B
Like the angels cast on snow-covered lawns
