Verse 1

    E                          E/D#
Too wild to care, you got that animal stare
        D                     A/C#
You got stay anywhere in your eyes
           E                          E/D#
And you're leading me on, but you can be anyone
          D                          A/C#
'Cause I know you'll be gone 'fore I rise


Chorus
          E                             A - E
And we're going through the motions
          E                             A - E
Yeah, we're going through the motions
          E                             A - E
Yeah, we're going through the motions
E                               A - E
Going through the motions

Verse two (chords as above)

Staying with you gave us something to do
I almost thought it was true for a while
'Cause there's love in you lies, you senility skies
You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried

Chorus

Bridge
G# - c#           F#                 G#sus4 - G#
        To thee I dedicate this photograph
E                 B                F#
        I'll even sign it "love to you" again
A                     B         E         B/D#    c#m
        And when it's faded and forgotten in some book
        B        A      G#              F#              E
You'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look

Solo - not perfect, but you get the idea.  The bends in the first part are
very subtle.  There is some kind of harmonic at the end of the second line
that I haven't tabbed in.

Verse 3

It's a game, it's a game, no let's call it a shame
'Cause there's no one to blame just to pay
You were a friend for a day, so don't cry if I say
That you got what you want, it's OK

Chorus
          E                             A - E

          E                             A - E
Yeah, we're going through the motions
E                               A - E
Going through the motions
