VERSE
Eb Bb7
You had your grand illusion and wrestled with your fate
Fm G7
The winter of your discontent came twenty years too late
Cm F/A Ab6
If it was love and I was there I've forgotten where it lives
Eb Bb Ab
We both stepped off a frozen rock onto a burning bridge
VERSE
Eb Bb7
You came like an invasion all bells and whistles blowing
Fm G7
Reaping the rewards of the fable you'd been sowing
Cm F/A Ab6
I saw you cross the landing and descending marble stairs
Eb Bb Ab
Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon you seemed to walk on air
Eb G7
And yea I've seen your movie
Cm
And I read it in your book
Ab Eb
The truth just flew off every page
G7
Your songs have all the hooks
Cm
You're seven wonders rolled in one
Am7 Ab6
You shifted gear to cruise
Eb G Ab
Oh you came to town in headlines
Bb9 Eb
And eight hundred dollar shoes

VERSE
Eb Bb7
Oh the bellboys are crying and moneys changing hands
Fm G7
Your cloak and dagger legacy's gone home to no man's land
Cm F/A Ab6
The marquee lights are flickering your poster's fading fast
Eb Bb Ab6
Your being here just melts away like ice cubes in a glass
Eb G7
And yea I've seen your movie
Cm
And I read it in your book
Ab Eb
The truth just flew off every page

Your songs have all the hooks

Oh you came to town in headlines

And eight hundred dollar shoes

Oh you came to town in headlines
Bb9 Eb
And eight hundred dollar shoes
