Leading Actress Chords by Katie Pruitt

[Intro]

G    G
 
 
[Verse]

 G
Transmitting a signal from, 

in-between power lines
      Em
Your voice sounds like 

an echo of a long drawn out goodbye
 C                       
Pacing in the parking lot,  
  Am                               G   G
I cry beneath a bright New Jersey moon
 
     G
You used to be a stranger 

standing way off to the side
            Em
Now you're standing front 

and center under the spotlight
    C                                  
And I should have known better than to 
Am                           G
let the plot revolve around you
 
 
[Chorus]

         C               
Now I'm sleeping in the 
 G/B           Am
middle of the mattress
 C              G/B            Am
Thinking about changing up my address
 C               G/B               Am
Somehow you are still the leading actress
                    G    G
In the movie of my life
 
 
[Verse]

 G
Peering out the window as 

I watch the world expand
     Em
And building up the 

courage to call you when I land
       C                  
Flying over the Atlantic, 
Am                                  G
I'm a thousand different shades of blue
 
    G
Heavy anticipation and 

the silence on the drive
          Em
It's the longest trip 

we've taken down I-65
 C                           Am     
Hanging in background, just waiting 
                    G
on you to make the move
 
 
[Chorus]

         C               
And  I'm sleeping in the 
G/B           Am
middle of the mattress
 C              G/B            Am
Thinking about changing up my address
 C               G/B               Am
Somehow you are still the leading actress
                    G
In the movie of my life
 
 
[Instrumental]

G    G    Em    (Em)    
C    Am  D  G    G
 
 
[Verse]

G
I've tried to imagine 

a life with someone new
         Em
They've copied all your lines, 

they've memorized your moves
            C         
But you're still in 
                         Am 
every scene I'm clinging to 
                        G
leftover references of you
 
 
[Chorus]

 C                G/B       
Someone sleeps on your side  
        Am
of the mattress
              C               
While you're driving back to 
 G              Am
someone else's address
            C           G        
But you're always gonna be the 
        Am7
leading actress    
 
 
[Outro]

                    G    G
In the movie of my life
                    Em   Em
In the movie of my life
                    C    Am    G    G
In the movie of my life
