*Standard tunning

Dm A# F C

Dm A#

There is an empty space in the chair tonight

F C

Cause he don't feel right

Dm A#

There are stormclouds brewing at the back of his mind

F C

As he steps outside

He will be twenty in a week

But he's old for his years

He's had many of those

To confront his own fears

Dm A#

But his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be

And his mother isn't growing old gracefully

A# Dm C

He says times like these I don't want to be a Superstar

A# Dm C

Cause reality tv killed them all in america

A# Dm C

Oh the sun always shines in a magazine

A# Dm C A

Tonight can we be free to be who we really are

Dm A# F C

Dm A#

There is an empty space between the lines tonight

F C

And it burns so bright

Dm A#

And the angry silence that he throws on the floor

F C

Says he don't care anymore

He had money for the truth

But love's a lot more

F C

And the answer's is not the one he was looking for

Dm A#

His father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be

And his mother is his mother reluctantly

A# Dm C

He says times like these I don't want to be a Superstar

A# Dm C

Cause reality tv killed them all in america

A# Dm C

Oh the sun always shines in a magazine

A# Dm C A

Tonight can we be free to be who we really are

A# Dm C

He says times like these I don't want to be a Superstar

A# Dm C

Cause reality tv killed them all in america

A# Dm C

Oh the sun always shines in a magazine

A# Dm C

Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
