Lyrics

They are not nice they’re most ly (Am6)noise.

They swear like men they screw like (Am6)boys.

I know there’s no thing in their hearts,

but ev ’ry (E)time I take one (E)in my (E)arms it (Am)starts.

The mo vie in my (Am)mind,

the dream they leave be (Dm)hind.

A scene I can’t e (Dm)rase,

and in a strong G.

(G)I.’s

em (C)brace,

(F)flee

this (Bb)life,

(E)flee

this (Am)place.

The mo vie plays and (Am)plays,

the screen be fore me (Dm)fills.

He takes me to New (Dm)York,

he gives me dol lar (Em)bills.

Our child ren laugh all (Em)day

and eat too much ice (Dm)cream,

and life is like a (E)dream.

(F)Dream,

the dream I long to (Dm)find,

the mo vie in my (C)mind.

I will not cry, I will not (Am6)think.

I’ll do my dance, I’ll make them (Am6)drink.

When I make love it won’t be me,

and if they (E)hurt me, I’ll just (E)close my (E)eyes and (Am)see

the mo vie in my (Am)mind;

the dream that fills my (Dm)head.

A man who can not (Dm)kill,

who’ll fight for me in (Em)stead.

He’ll keep us safe all (Em)day

so no one comes at (Dm)night

to blow the dream a (E)way.

(F)Dream,

the dream I have to (Dm)find,

the (G)mo vie in my (Cm)mind.

And in a strong G.

(Bb)I.’s

em (Ebmaj7)brace,

(Ab)flee

this (Dbmaj7)life,

(G)flee

this (Cm)place.

A world that’s far a (Cm)way

where life is not un (Fm)kind.

The mo vie in my (Cm)mind.
