Clark Gable Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

GI was waiting for a cross-town train in the EmLondon underground when it Bmstruck me

GThat I've been waiting since birth to find a Emlove that would look and sound like a Bmmovie

GSo I changed my plans I rented a Emcamera and a van and then I Bmcalled you

G"I need you to pretend that Emwe are in love again" and you Bmagreed to

Chorus

GI want so badly to Embelieve that "there is truth, that love is Bmreal"

GAnd I want life in every Emword to the extent that it's Bmabsurd

Instrumental

G Em Bm

Verse 2

GI greased the lens and framed the Emshot using a friend as my Bmstand-in

GThe script it called for rain but Emit was clear that day so we Bmfaked it

GThe marker snapped and I yelled Em"quiet on the set" and then called Bm"action!"

GAnd I kissed you in a style that EmClark Gable would have admired (I thought it Bmclassic)

Chorus

GI want so badly to Embelieve that "there is truth, that love is Bmreal"

GAnd I want life in every Emword to the extent that it's Bmabsurd

GI know you're wise beyond your Emyears, but do you ever get the Bmfear

GThat your perfect verse is just a Emlie you tell yourself to help you Bmget by?

(I like to speed up my playing here to fit the faster drums)

G EmThat you tell yourself to Bmget by?

G EmThat you tell yourself to Bmget by?
