I’ve Heard that Tear Stained Monologue You Do There by the Door Before You Go
words and music
by Mason Williams

INTRO: C   G F   C  G F
    C			F		G			C  G F  C  G F
Sometimes I get the feeling I’ve passed this way one time in life before
 C		F		G				    C  G F   C  
Like the rerun of some movie I’ve seen a thousand Saturdays ago
  Am				    D				     G
I know exactly what your gonna say before it happens in each scene
  C			F			G
And I find myself rehearsing for that blackout situation
						 C  G F 
Where the punchline reaches out and punches me

  C		     F		      G			         C  G F   C  G F
I always play the same part; the good guy gets the girl, I wind up dead.
  C			F		  G			
Who rides into the sunset when the credits start to roll and flash upon the 
                   C  G F C
screen inside my head
  Am					D                         G			
The show is done, the lights go up, I throw my empty popcorn box away
  Am			     D			      G
Go back to unreality on rubber legs, I walk into the day

(Bridge)
  Am							        D
Life is never logical, the faces change, the lines all stay the same
  Am								    D
I know the cues where I came in, the exits but I can’t recall your name
  C				F		G			  C  GF    
So save your breath, don’t tell me how it all comes out, somehow I think I know
	  C	                      F		       G			C
I’ve heard that tear stained monologue you do there by the door before you go.
  Am					     D				G
What makes me take you by the hand and stand around in line one time again
	  Am         						D
Just to see the same old madness.. well, I ask you ain’t this the place where I 
            G
     came in?
  C				F		G		        C  G F C
So save your breath, don’t tell me how it all come out, somehow I think I know
  C                            F                G                           C
I’ve heard that tear stained monologue you do there by the door before you go.

This work is entirely my own creation made especially for you on a Mac!
