Clark Gable Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I was [D]waiting for a cro[G]ss-town train
train
On the London Underground
When it [Em]struck me,
(When it [D]struck me)

[Verse 2]
That I've been waiting since [G]birth
[D]To find a [G]love that would look and sound
Like a movie.
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]So I changed my plans,
I [G]ren[D]ted [G]a camera and a van
And then I [Em]called you.
(And then [D]I called you)

[Verse 4]
I need you [D]to pretend
That [G]we are in love again
And you agreed [Em]to.
[G]

[Verse 5]
I want so badly to believe
That there is truth,

[Interlude 1]
That love is real.
[Em][G]

[Verse 6]
And I want [G]life in every word
To the extent that it's absurd.
[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[G]
[Em][G][Em][G]
[D]I greased the[G] lens

[Verse 7]
And framed the shot
Using a friend as my stand-in.
[Em](As my s[G]tand[Em]-in)[G][D]

[Verse 8]
The script, it called for rain
But [G]it was clear that day
So we [Em]faked it.

[Verse 9]
[G]
[D]The marker sna[G]pped
And I [D]yelled [G]"Quiet on the set"
And then called "Ac[Em]tion".
(And then [G]called "Action")
[D]I kissed [G]you

[Verse 10]
in a [D]style
Clark [G]Gable would have admired,
I thought it clas[Em]sic.
[G]

[Verse 11]
I want so badly to believe
That there is truth,

[Interlude 3]
That love is real.
[Em][G]

[Verse 12]
And I want [G]life in every word

[Interlude 4]
To the extent that it's absurd.
[Em][G]

[Verse 13]
I know you're [G]wise beyond your years
But do you ever get [Em]the fears
[G]That your perfect verse is just a lie
You tell yourself to help you
[Em]Get [D]by?[Em]

[Outro 1]
[Em][Bm][D][G][Bm][D][Em]
[G][Bm][D][G]
