Prefab Sprout
Electric Guitars (1997)

      A                  Bm
I'd a dream that we were rock stars
         D/A                    G#dim
And that flash bulbs popped the air  
          C#m            Bm      D6/E*     A       Bm  D6/E*
And girls fainted, every time we shook our hair.   

        A                  Bm
We were songbirds, we were Greek Gods
        D/A            G#dim
We were singled out by fate
        C#m           Bm        D6/E*  A       Bm  D6/E*
We were quoted out of context - it was great.

A            A/G#     F#m           D/A
Grander than castles, cathedrals or stars
             A        A/G#       F#m             D/A
             Riots in airports - everywhere that we go
(Electric guitars!)
C#m                Dmaj7/A           D6/E*
Mascara meltdown - hysteria-a-go-go

            A            A/G#     F#m           D/A
            Grander than castles, cathedrals or stars
(Electric guitars!)

             A        A/G#       F#m             D/A

       A             Bm
When I woke up I was laughing
          D/A           G#dim
Well what else was I to do
      C#m           Bm      D6/E*   A       Bm  D6/E*
Every detail of the dream I had was true

        A                  Bm
We were songbirds, we were Greek Gods
        D/A            G#dim
