Ooh
[Verse]
G                      Am
Activity’s killing the actor

      D                         C     Am               F   D
And a cop’s standing out in the road, turning traffic away

G                                     Am
There was nothin’ she could do until after

         D                     C   Am              F   D
When his body’d been buried below, way back in the day
[Chorus]
Em Am  Em                           C
Oh my, nothing else could have been done

G        G/F#   Em  C   Fmaj7
Made his life a lie so

Em  Am   Em                    C
He might never have to know anyone

G        G/F#     Em      C     Fmaj7
Made his life the lie you know
[Verse]
G                              Am
I told him that he shouldn’t upset her (ooh)

              D                 C     Am                 F      D
And that he’d only be making it worse involving somebody else (ooh)

G                             Am
But I knew that he’d never forget her (ooh)

          D                   C       Am                    F      D
While her memory worked in reverse to keep her safe from herself (ooh)
[Chorus]
    E Am   Em                           C
And oh my, nothin’ else could have been done

G   G/F#     Em     C      Fmaj7
She made her life a lie so (ooh)

Em  Am    Em                   C
She might never have to know anyone

G        G/F#      Em     C    Fmaj7
Made her life the lie you know

What I   used to be will pass away and then you’ll see

     G   Bm   F   C      Am   G        Am      C
That all I   want now is happiness for you and me

G    Bm  F      C       Am     G      Am           C
What I  used to be will pass away and then you’ll see

That all I  want now is happiness for you and me

What I  used to be will pass away and then you’ll see
