D#
Started out like
in the movies But
   Fm           G#
it ended like a bad
      A#      D#
dream Curtain opened
heard the crowd roar
             Fm
This one's a repeat
        G#    A#
seen it before
Cm G#           D#
Rewind to the start
before it all went
Cm           G#    D#
wrong What's going on?
Cm   G#
Fast forward to the
D#        A#
end after everyone's
G#
gone home And they've
          A#
forgotten it all

Chorus:
D#
This ain't a movie
               Gm G#
that I wanna see
A tragic story
                 A# Cm
starring you and me
                Gm
Yell cut we're stuck
             G#
inside this scene
This is heartache
       A#
on the big screen
D#
The clock is ticking
                  Gm G#
and I'm out of time
The camera's rolling
             A#
and I forgot my lines
Cm            Gm
My script is ripped
    Gm Fm Gm G#
and now   I  see
This is heartache
       A#        D# G# A# D#
on the big screen
        G#
This is heartache
       A#
on the big screen

Curtain closes on this cliché
Like a story of a bad day
Back to square one, where I started
As I stand here brokenhearted

Fast forward to the end after everyone's gone home
And they've forgotten it all

Chorus:
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
A tragic story, starring you and me
Yell "Cut," we're stuck inside this scene
This is heartache on the big screen
The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines
My script is ripped and now I see
This is heartache on the big screen

   D#
If Hollywood could
               Cm
see me now I'd get
             Fm
the starring role
         G#
But they won't so
I'll just keep
   G# Gm     Fm
on acting a fool

Chorus:
This ain't a movie that I wanna see
A tragic story, starring you and me
Yell "Cut," we're stuck inside this scene, yeah

The clock is ticking, and I'm out of time
The camera's rolling, and I forgot my lines
My script is ripped and now I see
This is heartache on the big screen
This is heartache on the big screen
This is heartache on the big screen
