INTRO: C Am7 Dm G



VERSE 1 (plucked):

C

Strumming alone in his room

Am7

A songwriter sings out a tune

Dm G

A minor melancholy melody



He sings of a love that was his

And moans of how lonely he is

A sad and depressing song



Practised and now he’s on stage

Feels like he’s coming of age

The crowd all disagree but what do they know



CHORUS 1:

Em Am

Can you imagine how he feels?

Em Am

At the news of his first record deal

F G F G G G G C

Something in his eye, I think he’s going to cry



VERSE:

Recorded and now he’s on tour

Like his idols before

Spreading his sadness wide, there’s nowhere we can hide



But things are already going astray

He’s becoming a rock n roll cliché

Indulged he’s sadder ten fold, to fit the mould



CHORUS:

There’s daily coverage of his life going bad

They’ve even got an interview with his dad, He says

“Way to go son, I knew you’d be the one

I’m so proud, I think I’m going to cry”



VERSE:

Checked into a cheap motel

He turns it into his own private hell

Lying there with a needle in his arm, he needs to keep him calm



CHORUS 3:

Wishes he was back in his room

Fame came way too soon

Lonely feeling bad, but happy to be sad

Careful what you wish for, it might come true
