Tom: D

 I woke up last night shaking from a dream

For in that dream I died

My wife rolled over and told me
        A
That my life would be immortalized
            D
Not in some major motion picture
              G              D
Or great American novel, you see
         G               A               D
No, they're gonna make a TV movie out of me
               G                          D
Well now, it's one two three you take the money
             G           D
Yeah it's as easy as A B C
          G               A               D
Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well they can change my name or they can leave it

They can change my story too

Or they can make me black or Chinese
       A
And do things that I never did do
              D
They're gonna give my life a whole new ending
    G                    D
And put me in prime time first-run
    G                      A                        D
And when it's over, what I did there will be what I done
                 G                 D
Well now I don't want my name in a history book
  G                 D
Nobody's ever gonna see
         G               A               D
No, they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well I'm a shoe-in for a sponsor

Goodyear blimp and radial wheels

Somebody had a meeting somewhere
            A
Somehow somebody made a deal
           D
Well I was one of them kinds of stories
     G                  D
That everybody liked to see
          G               A               D
Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me
            G                         D
Now I don't want no inscription on my gravestone
   G          D
No long soliloquy
        G               A               D
No they're gonna make a TV movie out of me
               G                          D
