Capo: 3 fret [Intro] G D Em7 D G D Em7 D D [Verse 1]
     G                 D
Hmm, if my life were a movie,

                    Em7
There would be a sunset,

                     D*
And the camera would pan away.

        G                    D
But the sky is just a little sister,

         Em7
Tagging along behind the buildings,

          D*
Trying to imitate their grey.
[Verse 2]
G                                  D
Oohm, the little boys are breaking bottles,

          Em7
Along the sidewalk,

              D*
The big boys, too.

    G                            D
The girls are hanging out at the candy store,

        Em7
Pumping quarters into the phone,

            D*
'cause they don't want to go home.
[Chorus] N.C. And I think,
G                D
What if no one's watching,

                   Em7              D
What it when we're dead, we're just dead.

D
I mean,

G                 Dsus2
What if god ain't looking down,

Em7                   Dsus2*
 What if he's looking up instead
[Verse 3]
G                      Dsus2
Ooh, if my life were a movie,

                Em7
I would light a cigarette,

                          Dsus2*
And the smoke would curl around my face.

    G                        Dsus2
And everything I do would be interesting,

Em7
  I'd play the good guy,

Dsus2*
In every scene.
[Verse 4]
G
But I always feel I have to,

Dsus2
Take a stand,

                   Em7
And there's always someone on hand,

               Dsus2*
To hate me for standing there,

D
I mean,

G6                      Dsus2
I always feel I have to open my mouth,

          Em7
And every time I do,

         Dsus2*
I offend someone
N.C. Somewhere. [Chorus]
    G
But what,

                 D
What if no one's watching,

                   Em7              D
What if when we're dead, we're just dead.

D
I mean,

G                  Dsus2
What if there's no time to lose,

                Em7
What if there's things we gotta do,

            Dsus2*
Things that need to be said.
[Interlude] G D Em7 D G D Em7 D Dsus2 [Verse 5]
  G                    D
Hmm, you know I can't apologize,

Em7                D
  For everything I know.

G                         D
I mean you don't have to agree with me,

             Em7
But once you get me going,

                D*
You better just let me go.
[Verse 6]
D
I mean,

G                     D
We have to be able to criticize,

D
What we love,

Em7                 D
Say what we have to say.

     G                    D
Ooh, you're not trying to make something better,

   Em7
As far as I can tell,

            D*
You're just in the way.
[Chorus]
       G
I mean what,

                 D
What if no one's watching

                   Em7              D
What if when we're dead, we're just dead,

D
I mean,

G                 Dsus2
What if it's just us down here,

               Em7
What if god is just an idea,

        Dsus2*
Someone put in your head.
[Outro]
       G
I mean what,

                 D
What if no one's watching,

                 Em7         D
What if no one's watching.

       G
I mean what,

                 D
What if no one's watching,

                 Em7       Dsus2  Dsus2
What if no one's watching.

     G                 D
Hmm, if my life were a movie,

                    Em7
There would be a sunset,

                     D*
And the camera would pan away.

        G                    D
But the sky is just a little sister,

         Em7
Tagging along behind the buildings,

          D*
Trying to imitate their grey.

G                D
What if no one's watching,

                 Em7      Dsus2
What if no one's watching,

G                Dsus2
What if no one's watching,

                 Em7      D D D
What if no one's watching.
