 Intro:
   Cm    Bb          F

|------4-3---------------1--|
|----------3-------3---2----| repeat
|----5-------3---3----------|
|--3-----------1------------|
|--------------------1------|

Weird scenes are coming through the airwaves
From a flickering tube
An old film with an older theme
And those actors could be us

|--10-------11-------10-------11--------|
|--------11----11-------11-------11-----|
|-----10----------10-------10-------10--|
|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
But the ending is good so I'm thinking
"There's the rub"

Later when we meet
It's emotion going through the motions
A kick to break up or a kiss to make up

|--10-------11-------10-------11--------|
|--------11----11-------11-------11-----|
|-----10----------10-------10-------10--|
|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
But then there'll be another scene
Like the one yesterday

 Chorus:
|----------------------|
|---------------4-3----|
|------0---1--------3--| x 2
|--3-------------------|
|----------------------|

|------0---1---3--| x 2                         E---------------|
|--3--------------|                             B-----9-8-------|
|-----------------|                             G--10-----8-----|
|-----------------|                             D-----------10--|
When we say hello, we mean goodbye
Feigning paradise, wanting to cry
Love, all our passion I'm sorry to say
Is part of the game we play

|---------------------------|
|------4-3---------------1--|
|----------3-------3---2----| repeat
|----5-------3---3----------|
|--3-----------1------------|
|--------------------1------|

So we're into action on cue
And go spinning like a reel        G--7(8)7(8)7--|

|--10-------11-------10-------11--------|
|--------11----11-------11-------11-----|
|-----10----------10-------10-------10--|
|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
Summing up this relationship
And the way I feel

I think maybe we should go on out
Into the moonlight, out of the spotlight
And examine where we are and where we've been to

|--10-------11-------10-------11--------|
|--------11----11-------11-------11-----|
|-----10----------10-------10-------10--|
|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
Where we're going is down without a happy ending

 Chorus:
|----------------------|
|---------------4-3----|
|------0---1--------3--| x 2
|--3-------------------|
|----------------------|
|----------------------|

|-----------------|
|-----------------|                              bass ?:
|------0---1---3--| x 2                         E---------------|
|--3--------------|                             B-----9-8-------|
|-----------------|                             G--10-----8-----|
|-----------------|                             D-----------10--|
When we say hello we mean goodbye
Feigning paradise, wanting to cry
Love, all our passion I'm sorry to say
Is part of the game we play

 Sax solo

 Chorus:
When we say hello we mean goodbye
Feigning paradise, wanting to cry
Love, all our passion I'm sorry to say
Is part of the game we play
