I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous(Chords)

Let's begin at the beginning, we're lovers and we're losers 
A                             Asus4 
We're heroes and we're pioneers, we're beggars and we're choosers 
E                            F#m 
Skirting 'round the edges of the ideal demographic 
E                            Dsus2 
We're always on the guest list,but we're always stuck in traffic 

A                                   Asus4 
We've watched our close associates up and play their parts; 
A                                             Asus4 
They're chatting up the it girls, and they're tearing up the charts, 
E                                            F#m 
While we were paying with coppers to get our round in at the bar. 
E                                         Dsus2 
We're the C-Team, we're the almost famous old friends of the stars.

Justin is the last great romantic poet 
A                             Asus4 
He's the only one among us who is ever gonna' make it 
E                            F#m 
We planned the revolution from a cheap Southampton bistro 
E                            Dsus2 
I don't remember details, but there were English boys with Banjos 
A                             Asus4 
Jay is our St George and he's standing on a wooden chair 
A                             Asus4 
And he sings songs and he slays dragons and he's losing all his hair 
E                            F#m 
And Adam is the resurrected spirit of Gram Parsons 
E                                  Dsus2 
In plaid instead of Rhinestone and living in South London 
E                            F#m 
And no one's really clear about Tommy's job description 
E                                  Dsus2 
But it's pretty clear he's vital to the whole damn operation 
E                                       F#m 
And Dave Danger smiles at strangers, Tre's the safest girl I know 
E                                      Dsus2 
And sullen hearts will scamper off to victory in the City we call home 

                        F#m                        E 
And we won't change our ways, we will proud remain, 
                     D 
when the glory fades, when the glory fades 

A                                       Asus4 
Yeah I am sick and tired of people who are living on the B-list 
A                                            Asus4 
Yeah they're waiting to be famous, and they're wondering why they do this 
E                            F#m 
And I know I'm not the one who is habitually optimistic 
E                                              Dsus2 
But I'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this 
A                                       Asus4 
Yeah, well life is about love, lost minutes and lost evening 
A                                       Asus4 
About fire in our bellies and about furtive little feelings 
E                                        F#m 
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering 
E                                         Dsus2 
And they help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is 
  A          Asus4      A         D                          C#m7 
live                             yeah the only thing that's left to do is 
 A                Dsus2                              A 
live, after all of the loving and losing, after all the heroes and the pioneers 
D                             E                     A 
The only thing that's left to do is get another round in at the bar.
