Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

Notes:

Lianne picks the open Em9/Em7 chords more or less as in the guitar figure.

An alternative is to find a strumming pattern for the open Em9 - Em7.

Play around with these chords and try to find a pattern that works for you.

Guitar Figure 1

On the Gm7 chord she frets on and off the 2nd string at the 5th fret.

Chords:

Sometimes when you talk, mm-hmm,

And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it close

Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous

I wish that we could somehow freeze the frame

But this isn't the silver-screen, oh no,

There's no pause, no re-wind

Chorus

Notes:

The chords follow the same picking pattern as for the the VERSEs.

Chords:

Time to find out where the story goes,

Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,

Watching ourselves au cinéma

Taking our positions as the cameras roll,

You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,

Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah

Verse

Chords:

Now we cut to the girl, alone

She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge

And she's truly at home,

Oh, her step has a whole new spring

Big bright lights of the city are shining for her

There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,

'Though she thinks to look back, back, she won't...

There's no pause, no re-wind; no pause, no re-wind

Chorus

Chords:

Time to find out where the story goes,

Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,

Watching ourselves au cinéma

Taking our positions as the cameras roll,

You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,

Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah

[repeat CHORUS: this time play Em9 on "cinéma-ah"]

Coda

Notes:

Finger-pick as for VERSE/CHORUS.

...Where the story goes...

...With the curtains closed...

Watching ourselves au cinéma...

Taking our positions as the cameras roll,

You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,

Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
