David Bowie - New Killer Star
[Intro]
Am F D F  Am F D F
[Verse 1]
AmSee the great white scar
FOver Battery park
DThen a flare glides over
FBut I wont look at that scar
AmOh my nuclear baby (I discovered a star)
FOh my idiot trance
DAll my idiot questions (Like the stars in your eyes)
FLets face the music and dance
[Refrain]
Don't ever say I'm Aready I'm ready I'm ready
I never said I'm Fbetter I'm better I'm better
Don't ever say I'm Dready I'm ready I'm ready
I never said I'm Fbetter I'm better I'm better I'm better than Ebsus2you
[Pre-Chorus]
Ebsus2All the Bbcorners of the Fbuildings
Ebsus2Who but Bbwe remember Ebsus2these
Fsus2The sidewalks and Ebsus2trees
Fsus2I'm thinking now
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Am F D F  Am F D F
[Verse 2]
AmSee my life in a comic
FLike the way they did the Bible
DWith the bubbles and actions
FThe little details in colour
AmFirst a horse backed bomber
FJust a small thin chance
DLike seeing Jesus on Dateline
FLet's face the music and dance
[Refrain]
Don't ever say I'm Aready I'm ready I'm ready
I never said I'm Fbetter I'm better I'm better
