[Verse]
G#m
I’d always wondered why
F#
The Gideons provide
E                 E
A bible in hotels
G#m
Until I realised
F#
The loneliness of life’s
E                     E
A business in itself

[Pre-Chorus]
       B                      E
So you sing your drunken hymns
            B            E
You let it out to let it in
             F#
Do you feel God
             G#m
Do you feel God
           F#             C#m7
Or just the air from the machine?

[Chorus]
                   G#m    B
The television is watching me
                   E           B
I was a born entertainer, you see
                            F#   G#m
You should’ve seen me at seven - teen
           E                                      
Look at me now, look at me now, look at me now, 
      C#m7
look at me now, ohhh, look at me now

[Interlude]
G#m F# C#m7 E (x2)

[Verse]
G#m        F#
I was a lover
C#m7         E
And then I wasn’t
G#m      F#        C#m7
It’s hard to feel alright

G#m        F#
Is it convincing
C#m7          E
Or something missing
G#m            F#      C#m7
That makes me see the light?

[Pre-Chorus]
      B             E
Now I sing my dull amens
            B              E
The adult life’s to make amends
           F#                  G#m
Do you believe you’re God in jeans
             E           C#m7
Or were you once just seventeen?

[Chorus]
                   G#m    B
The television is watching me
                   E           B
I was a born entertainer, you see
                           F#    G#m
You should’ve seen me at seven - teen
    E
But look at me now, look at me now
                     C#m7
look at me now, look at me now, ooohhh

[Bridge]
G#m                  F#
‘I’m fine, leave me alone’
 C#m7                  E
Goes the story of a million men now
 G#m                  F#
‘I’m fine, leave me alone’
 C#m7                  E
Goes the song of a million men now
 G#m                  F#
‘I’m fine, leave me alone’
 C#m7                  E
Goes the song of a million men now
 G#m          F#
I’m fine, I’m fine

[Outro]
 C#m7      E        G#m     B
The television is watching me
                   E          B
I was a born entertainer, you see
                         F#      G#m
You should’ve seen me at seven - teen
           E         C#m
Look at me now
               E     C#m      E      C#m
But look at me now
