Verse 1
G
Ronnie
stood beneath the movie marquee
G
B
He was trying to remember,
G
D
G
that he'd seen her for the last time.
He'd heard that she'd
become an actress.
G
B
And he stood with his hands
C
G
D
and he waited for the dollar matinee.
G
C
Lord, she's bigger than
you and blind you.
C
D
When you step back in
G
C
D
G
to the street
Well the theater, she smelled so familiar
G
B
Yes, he sat down front,
Em
G
just like he'd always done
C
G
D
G
With his feet hangin' out in the aisle
And he watched her with eyes disbelieving
C
G
He felt something like time on his brain
Em
C
Now you remember it's only just
G
D
G
a part that she's playing,
C
G
but she's bigger than life on the screen
C
D
Now won't you step back in to the
G
C
G
street
B
Em
C
G
D
G
She stood by some window, fairies,
Em
C
body and breathed,
G
D
Christ, that's the first time
Behind him the people were leaving,
G
B
but old Ronnie never
went to the movies
Em
C
G
unless he could stay in
D
G
the theater twice.
C
D
G
When you step back in to the street
G
C
life on the screen
G
C
D
And there's a laugh from the balcony,
good Lord.
I am the sun, will burn you and blind you,
C
G
when you step back into the street.
C
D
G
C
When you step back in to the street.
Thank you so much.
