Celebrity Death  Yves Klein Blue

One of the best songs on the album, even though it took a month or so to grow on
me. It's a simple strumming pattern so it's easy to play and sing along to,
although it's pretty much guaranteed to bring everyone around you down.
Notes on the chords:
"D, D2" --> play a D and on the second strum drop the high F# to an open E
During the verse, the A is a bar chord on the fifth fret of the low E string.
During the chorus, the chords are all bar chords with the following bass roots:
D --> 10th fret of low E
A --> 7th fret of G
C#m --> 9th fret of low E
F#m --> 9th fret of A
Intro F#m
Verse 1
F#m D, D2
Your baby and wife took a walk on the beach on a Saturday
[A] By M[C#m]onday pictures dressed in bold font
F#m D, D2
The only thing that inspired you was the everyday,
[A] And that?s the [C#m]only thing that they didn?t want.
F#m D, D2
The green lights your way, who does it illuminate?
[A]How many m[C#m]en reside in your face?
F#m D, D2
And which one got everything you wanted?
When all[A] the world?s a stage, does e[C#m]verything seem worthless and fake?
F#m D, D2
'Cause I've seen you live [A]so many lives.
F#m D, D2
Oh, adopted a guise that put you under these lights,
what a cruel design,[A] that I s[C#m]aw you more than most of my friends
F#m D, D2 A
Now tears roll down cheeks from eyes of suspended disbelief
To [C#m]watch a special news bulletin
F#m D, D2
Saying, "I've seen you liv[A]e so many lives.
Oh wh[C#m]at's one more?
F#m D, D2
Why won't you rise[A] from the grave like you d[C#m]one before?"
Chorus
'Cause t[D]hey only wanted to see [A]
if your eye[C#m]s shine like in the films of[F#m] you
'Cause t[D]hey only want to believe[A]
that they kn[C#m]ew you well themselves[F#m]
Oh but of course t[D]hey don't look like that[A]
That took se[C#m]ven hours of make-up and a s[F#m]pecial lens cap
[F#m]Oh...
Verse 2
Confidants' confidence dies, tongues cluck and tears dry
How are you surprised?
That nameless sadness lives for all time
'Cause drinks don't stay cold and smoke leaves ash like a soul
and clouds all the voices of safety
I thought for a moment, yeah, maybe I was alone
Just to feel an ounce of regret
But that didn't occur once to the lunch ladies
They had a cup of tea and a cigarette
They didn't waste any precious time saying kind things
'Cause the whole appeal is to rely on the face of things
Chorus
[D]'Cause they only wanted [A]to see
if your eye[C#m]s shine like in the films of[F#m] you
'Cause t[D]hey only want to believe[A]
that they kn[C#m]ew you well themselves[F#m]
Oh but of course t[D]hey don't look like that[A]
That took se[C#m]ven hours of make-up and a s[F#m]pecial lens cap
On certain da[D]ys it's hard to remember [A]that
C#m (hold)
Even for you
I hope you rest well
[A] [F#m] [C#m] [D]
