Split Enz – Matinee Idyll 129 (Guitar)

D                   G
Hiding in the wings forever

D                              G
We'll take the stage, cos it's now or never

D                         Gm 
And the whole thing reeks of cheap striptease

D                       Gm
The matinee idylls they all fall to their knees

Em                           A
It's not all first nights at all

C                                F           Em
There's nothing more dull than a curtain call

D              G
Playing Romeo, you make your debut (Ha!)

D                        G
Rose red cheeks but your face is all blue

Em                            A
It's not all bouquets & white crayons

C                               F         C
They're going to laugh when you look down

Em                          A            
I'm going to ask you if you want to be a chorus boy

F#m                      E
You can mime the tragedy while we all sing along

Em                           A
It's not all first nights at all

C                                F           Em
There's nothing more dull than a curtain call
