The Beths - Watching The Credits

[Intro]
G F
(x4)

Alternatively to sound closer to both guitars at once

G F Em F
(x4)

[Verse 1]
G F G F
Press play on the rest of the day
G F C D
Hurry up and wait for your next scene
G F
Not great
G F
Couldn’t keep my face straight
G F
And I know very well that it’s
C D
‘Show and Don’t Tell’ on the big screen
C
When all of the lines you’ve learned are
Cm Am
Bleeding on the cutting room floor
D
There’s no star on the door

Good God!
E G
Who are you making this for?

[Chorus]
G Am
I spend all day putting out fires
C Em
Listening to choirs singing
C Cm
The soundtrack blaring
G Am
And I spend all night cutting up edits
C Em D C Cm
Watching the credits to find direction in my existence

G F
(x4)

[Verse 2]
G F G
It’s just a story I don’t quite believe
F G
Full of plot holes and constant monotony
F C
Who’s going to root for this unlikeable lead?
D G
Not them, not me, not likely
F G
Maybe it’s something we can fix in post
F G
Or we can get take after take ’til the cows come home
F C
Shut the door, I’m feeling overexposed
D
Now they all know
C
All of the tears you’ve cried but
Cm Am
You can’t quite make it happen on cue
D
The pain never comes through

Good God!
E G
When you’re needing it to

[Chorus]
G Am
I spend all day putting out fires
C Em
Listening to choirs singing
C Cm
The soundtrack blaring
G Am
And I spend all night cutting up edits
C Em D C Cm
Watching the credits to find direction in my existence

[Bridge]
Am B C
(x2)

(Key Change)

[Chorus]
A B
I spend all day putting out fires
D F#m
Listening to choirs singing
D Dm
The end is nearing
A B
And I spend all night cutting up edits
D F#m D E
Watching the credits to find
D F#m D E
Watching the credits to find
D F#m D E D C#m B A
Watching the credits to find direction in my existence
