A Makeover Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D][A][D][A]

[Verse 1]
"It's like [D]a m[A]akeover when the filming's over and she doesn[F#m]'t know how to [Bm]fix it so tha[A]t it'll stay,
[G]and she can't figure out how t[D]o tease out her hair t[A]hat way herself.
And when she [D]wakes up [A]all the make-up has has [F#m]rubbed
away and she does[Bm]n't know [A]how to find her face.
[G]It was only for one sin[A]gle day[G] that
you looked so [D]beauti[A]ful, baby.

[Verse 2]
[G]Now your cheeks have gone pal[F#m]e,
[Bm]and your roots d[A]ark gray.
[G]And though they nod as they notic[D]e you[A]'re nice,
[G]baby, nobody's notic[D]ing twi[A]ce.
[G]Dim the lights as your memory
[Bm]of parad[A]ise fades.
I'm like an [D]architect [A]who cashed his check,
but [F#m]he doesn't let [Bm]on that it's the la[A]st one h[G]e'll get.

[Verse 3]
Though he knows the [D]funds have [A]run dry,
[G]he wants to have fun for one[D] fin[A]al night,
[G]Staring out at a skylin[Bm]e that he'll
nev[A]er change.
[G]They're saying 'though we like all [D]things that you've [A]made,
[G]notice no one remember[D]s your nam[A]e.
As you [Em]float through time, feel [A]your powers decline day [D]by
[A][F#m][Bm][A][G][D][A][G][D][A]
[G]day[Bm].'[A]

[Verse 4]
You're like [D]a convert who goes b[A]ack to work when he can't r[F#m]etrieve how t[Bm]he clarity
ac[A]tually [G]felt. When his co-workers ask [D]ask him the words won't [A]come out.
And [D]in three weeks his [A]new leaf has [F#m]rubbed away
and [Bm]it feels just like an [A]average [G]day:
Facing walls talking [D]in to the [A]phone,
[G]sitting dumbly in chu[D]rch all[A] alo[G]ne,

[Verse 5]
Picking back up the [Bm]magazines
he'd thrown [A]away.
[G]Well, convert, what your god whispered [D]in to your
[A]ear [G]you forgot once that god[D] disappea[A]red,[G]
And that life-changing day, [Bm]day,
you just felt [A]it [Em]fade.
But, you know, it's got [G]to fade. You know it's got
[A]to fade," and, falling down on the couch,
He says, "it's perfectly that [D]way."
