G
Would you order on demand
G
From the disembodied hand
G C
From the moving lights up in the sky?
G
'Cause there was a time you know
G
When I had my own live show
G C
It was improvised for the camera's eye
E A
It was made up in the ring
D G
Back when Bob Hope was king
C D
Back when every choice felt right
B
Back when life was black and white
G C
Now there's one thing I regret
G D
How I wish I didn't care
G C
How I wish I could forget
G D G C D C D
That I was someone then when we were on the air
G
It was June of '55
G
I walked out when we were live
G C
Cause I knew I was made for bigger screens than just
G G
That small time comedy, just a half hour parody
G C
It was cinema marquees for me or bust
E A
We were heroes with a plan
D G
Back before the laughs were canned
C D
Back before the double bed
B
When the carpets all were red
G C
Now there's one thing I regret
G D
How I wish I didn't care
G C
How I wish I could forget
G D G Bm C D
That I was someone then when we were on the air
G
Maybe at the traffic light
G
When I see that big white sign
G C
Just by chance in my rear-view mirror
G
Well I don't know what it means
G
But I know it's not the screen
G C
It's my own routine and I'm the antihero
E A D G
But I used to be number one back before the reruns
C D
Back when every choice felt right
B
Back when life was black and white
G C
Now there's one thing I regret
G D
How I wish I didn't care
G C
How I wish I could forget
G D G C
That I was someone then when we were on the air
G D G C
I was someone then when we were on the air
G D G Bm C D
I was someone then when we were on the air
