Guitar Tab:Protagonist

 
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                                                  Eb
[A gloved hand spins a combination dial quickly 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                                                                 Eb
[She spins her ring to hide the diamond in her hand 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
                      F         C
And no camera angles to use, mm-hmm

D
A novice script may seem strange in this format
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                         Bb
I'm just on speaker phone

F
For exposition
A                       Bb
I'm out here on my own

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
