(you don't have to use these exact fingers, I just found these the easiest to play)
Also, the [ ]s are the second person talking in the song, but you can sing the whole song with one person
F She stole my daydreams A She stole my air guitar Bb [Exterior. Man on lawn, alone at dawn.] F Packed the typewriter A And drove off in her car Bb [A battered automobile drives past state line sign.] Am Bb And now I know that I'll rue the day Am Bb I let her get away F D I need a haircut Gm C I've got myself to blame F [A gloved hand spins a combination dial quickly Eb opening a large wall safe.] F He wasn't so fine A To my beginner's mind Bb [Motel. The other man, severe, refined.] F But with that big talk A I should have seen the signs Bb [Woman enters and they embrace. He packs duct tape, rope.] Am Bb And right on her he was fixing his aim Am Bb He pushed me out of frame F D I need new head shots Gm C I've got myself to blame F [She spins her ring to hide the diamond in her hand Eb and drops a gun into a small beaded purse.] D Know the diff between a script and a spec
It's a test, just the stage directions left

But like any other business
F C It's a standard that the writer gets used to, aw-huh F My scenes are cut out A I'm just on speaker phone Bb (*Trumpet*) F For exposition A I'm out here on my own Bb (*Trumpet*) Am Bb And as the night falls on this sleepy town Am Bb The iris closes down F D I missed my close-up Gm C F D I've got myself to blame Gm C F D I've got myself to blame Gm C F I've got myself to blame
