[E]
[B] Life never had too much [E] to drink
[B] [D]
Sitting in a club with [G] so many fools
[C] Playing for [F] roles
Trying to impress but [Am] feeling rather empty
[F] I [G] had [C] another dream
[B] [E]
[B]
What a way to spend that evening
[G]
We all turn up with their [C] friends
Playing the game
[F] They're in the scene or [Am] should have been
[F] Far
[G] [C] away
[Bm] We've been [A] the opposite of [G] remembering [F] the [E] game before
I open [C] the door
To an [E] empty room
Then I forget
[Bm]
[G] [Am]
[B]
The telephone rings and someone speaks
She [D]
[G] would very much like to go
[C] Out to a show
[F] So what can I do?
I can't think [Am] what to say
[F] She sees [C] through anyway
[B]
Out [E] of the front door I go
[B] [D]
Traffic's [G] moving rather slow
[C] Arriving late
[F] There she waits, looking [Am] very angry
[F] As cross [G] as she [C] can be
[Bb] Getting under the survival membrane [E] between the four
I [C] open the door
To an [A] empty room
Then [D] I forget
[Dm] [E]

To learn Pink Floyd - Paintbox chords, grasp the musical fabric of the song with this sequence - Am, F, Am, F, G, C, F and C of chords. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 85 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 171. Given the song's key of F Major, adjust the capo to align with your vocal range and chord preference.
