Alright, so - I know this isn't a CO&MVB song, but there's no solo Conor band here 
to put this in.
video that's going around of Conor playing this and You Are Your Mom's, which is 
For the lyrics I did my best to work out what they were from a bootleg with better audio.

NOTE: There are a number of places where the lyrics are most likely wrong (but I 
did pretty well with the U.S city names seeing as I'm from Australia) so I'm sorry. 

Please comment and lemme know how I did :) email issues or suggestions to

  D                    E7      A
Kick, you know you're still a kid
           D        E7        A
And your diets too full of additives.
  D                E7          A            F#
Passed out on the couch with ashes in your mouth
   Bm7                            E7
Dreaming that you're hopping the fence.
       D                E7       A
This world must have it out for you
          D           E7           A
      D             E7             A           F#
The trappings of a name that you never could escape,
        Bm7                       E7
These people want to live in the past.
       Bm7                       E7
Some golden age that they never had.

Bm                   
I thought we lost that Camelot
E7
I thought we lost that Camelot
A7
Some children story we forgot,
F*           Bm   E7
Grew old so long ago.


  D               E7      A
Kick its hard to make a friend
       D                 E7        A
In a world that's this cruel and partisan.
     D                E7           A            F#
But you should go in style to Stockholm for a while,
  Bm7                   E7
Live outside oblivions lense.

   D                    E7     A
Someday you'll have a fine divorce,
       D        E7       A
and a cemetery plot in Hyannisport.
      D                   E7              A       F#
Next time you close your eyes on that helicopter ride,
    Bm7                        E7
I hope you see it isn't your fault.
    Bm7                        E7
I hope you know it isn't your fault.

Bm
I thought we shot that Camelot
E7
I thought they shot that Camelot
A7
Whoever shot this movie stop
F*               Bm         E7
B wrote; said the show must go.        - This line is probably the most wrong


FILL: A        A?(finger on B-string up to the 3rd fret)

 A
Lying in the office on an old chaise-lounge
 Bm
Listening to the doctor drone.
 D                                Dm
No therapeutic feeling once the shock wears's off,
 A7                   E7
Answer every question 'no'.

 A
Hiding in the hammock with the shades pulled down
 Bm
Wondering if the story's broke.
  D                        Dm
Tragedy is profit once the word gets out,
  A7                     E7
Tabloids at the country store.


 A
Searching on the tables once the bar's closed down,
 Bm
said somebody stole your phone.
 D                                       Dm
Now there's no-one to talk to but these trust-fund drunks,
 A7                         E7
You should have brought a chaperone.

 A 
Well Kick, I'd love to help you but I just don't count,
 Bm
Friendship makes you paranoid.
 D                                Dm
I don't believe in curses, but I just might now.
 A7                   E7
I never really had a choice.
           F*             Dm
Just like all your broken toys.

REPEAT FILL

     D                    E7      A
Well Kick, you know this life is rich.
       D                E7       A
But pleasure's not the same as happiness.
     D             E7               A              F#
But if you don't collide with the traffic in your mind,
    Bm7                             E7
I think you'll find your way out of this.
    Bm7                          E7
I hope you find your way out of this.

REPEAT FILL

END ON A
