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

INTRO:
Sometimes I get the feeling I’ve passed this way one time in life before
Like the rerun of some movie I’ve seen a thousand Saturdays ago
I know exactly what your gonna say before it happens in each scene
And I find myself rehearsing for that blackout situation
Where the punchline reaches out and punches me
I always play the same part; the good guy gets the girl, I wind up dead.
Who rides into the sunset when the credits start to roll and flash upon the
screen inside my head
The show is done, the lights go up, I throw my empty popcorn box away
Go back to unreality on rubber legs, I walk into the day
(Bridge)
Life is never logical, the faces change, the lines all stay the same
I know the cues where I came in, the exits but I can’t recall your name
GF
So save your breath, don’t tell me how it all comes out, somehow I think I know
I’ve heard that tear stained monologue you do there by the door before you go.
What makes me take you by the hand and stand around in line one time again
Just to see the same old madness.. well, I ask you ain’t this the place where I
came in?
So save your breath, don’t tell me how it all come out, somehow I think I know
I’ve heard that tear stained monologue you do there by the door before you go.
(end song on held C chord)
This work is entirely my own creation made especially for you on a Mac!
