🎶 Superstar

There is [Eb]an empty space in the [D#m]chair tonight
Cause he [Em]don't feel [A#]right
There are [Eb]stormclouds brewing at the [D#m]back of his mind
As he [Em]steps [A#]outside

He will be [Eb]twenty in a week
But he's [D#m]old for his years
He's had [Em]many of those
To [A#]confront his own fears

But his [Eb]father's not the man he'd like to [D#m]grow up to be
And [Bbm]his mother isn't growing old gracefully

He says [D#m]times like these I don't [Eb]want to be a [A#]Superstar
Cause [D#m]reality [Eb]tv killed them all in [A#]america
Oh the [D#m]sun always [Eb]shines in a [A#]magazine
[D#m]Tonight can we be [Eb]free to be who we [A#]really are [Bbm]
[Eb] [D#m] [Em] [A#]
[Eb]There is an empty space between the [D#m]lines tonight
And [Em]it burns so [A#]bright
And the [Eb]angry silence that he [D#m]throws on the floor
[Em]Says he don't care [A#]anymore

He had [Eb]money for the truth
But [D#m]love's a lot more
And the [Em]answer's is not the one he was [A#]looking for
His [Eb]father's not the man he'd like to [D#m]grow up to be
And his [Bbm]mother is his mother reluctantly

He says [D#m]times like these I don't [Eb]want to be a [A#]Superstar
Cause [D#m]reality [Eb]tv killed them all in [A#]america
Oh the [D#m]sun always [Eb]shines in a [A#]magazine
[D#m]Tonight can we be [Eb]free to be who we [A#]really are [Bbm]
