Intro:

Step on the stage

The lights the praise

Em7

The curtain calls

And the big parade

G C9 Em7 A

You know that life all too well

The promise the pain

The valor the rage

Em7

Hold up your hands

For the bow and the wave

You know his touch

C9 Em7 A

A little too well

Em7

You throw yourself

D/F#

Into their arms

G C9

Mistresses have all the fun

Em7 D/F# G

But no one's ever there to take you home

Box up your gloves and your

Down coats

Em7

Bound for the sun and the

West coast

G C9 Em7 A

Where upper crust tragedies abound

A tip for the girl at the

Coat check

Em7

The guy at the door and the

Bar back

They know your face

C9 Em7 A

Oh so well

Em7 D/F#

But movies never made you famous

G C9

All your dreams got lost or traded

Em7 D/F# G C9

And all you ever cared about got lost

Em7 D/F#

But you were surely still an actress

G C9

Older men would find attractive

Em7 D/F# G C9

And all you ever cared about got lost

G C9

Em7 A

Where there's gold, there's a gold digger

You throw yourself

Into their arms

Em7 A

Mistresses have all the fun

G C9 Em7 A

But no one's ever there to take you home
