There is [Dm] an empty space in the [A#] chair tonight
Cause he [F] don't feel [C] right
There are [Dm] stormclouds brewing at the [A#] back of his mind
As he [F] steps [C] outside
He will be [Dm] twenty in a week
But he's [A#] old for his years
He's had [F] many of those
To [C] confront his own fears
But his [Dm] father's not the man he'd like to [A#] grow up to be
And [A] his mother isn't growing old gracefully
He says [A#] times like these I don't [Dm] want to be a [C] Superstar
Cause [A#] reality [Dm] tv killed them all in [C] america
Oh the [A#] sun always [Dm] shines in a [C] magazine
[A#] Tonight can we be [Dm] free to be who we [C] really are [A]
[Dm] [A#] [F] [C]
[Dm] There is an empty space between the [A#] lines tonight
And [F] it burns so [C] bright
And the [Dm] angry silence that he [A#] throws on the floor
[F] Says he don't care [C] anymore
He had [Dm] money for the truth
But [A#] love's a lot more
And the [F] answer's is not the one he was [C] looking for
His [Dm] father's not the man he'd like to [A#] grow up to be
And his [A] mother is his mother reluctantly
He says [A#] times like these I don't [Dm] want to be a [C] Superstar
Cause [A#] reality [Dm] tv killed them all in [C] america
Oh the [A#] sun always [Dm] shines in a [C] magazine
[A#] Tonight can we be [Dm] free to be who we [C] really are [A]
He says [A#] times like these I don't [Dm] want to be a [C] Superstar
Cause [A#] reality [Dm] tv killed them all in [C] america
Oh the [A#] sun always [Dm] shines in a [C] magazine
[A#] Tonight can we be [Dm] free to be who we [C] really are
