Intro:
C D G
Verse 1:
G
You spun my wheels for years and years
Em
Until they burned right down to the rubber
G
Now you're watching me on your big screen TV
Em
Getting telephone calls from your mother
Am Em
And you're so vain, I bet you think I still waste years on you
D
Well, baby, that's my cue
Chorus:
C
Bet you didn't know I was a big ol' star
G
And I glued rhinestones to my broken heart
C
That crowd won't wait, these thumps don't twiddle
G
I ain't one for settling for second fiddle
D
I told you goodbye with my hair held high
Em A
Now my left hand's got a new shine
C D
Pardon my roses, that showbiz
Verse 2:
G
Baby, at first there were stars in my eyes
Em
Until the spotlight showed you true colors
G
You're a good for nothin' cocktail ride
Em
Just a two-time and one-hit wonder
Am
You know what they say, beauty is pain
Em
So when you see my name in lights
D
Hope it's enough to make a grown man cry
Chorus:
C
I bet you didn't know I was a big ol' star
G
And I glued rhinestones to my broken heart
C
That crowd won't wait, these thumps don't twiddle
G
I ain't one for settling for second fiddle
D
I told you goodbye with my hair held high
Em A
Now my left hand's got a new shine
C D
Pardon my roses, that showbiz
G
Baby
[Instrumental Break]
G Em Am D
[Out-Chorus]
C
I bet you didn't know I was a big ol' star
G
And I glued rhinestones to my broken heart
C
That crowd won't wait, these thumps don't twiddle
G
I ain't one for settling for second fiddle
D
I told you goodbye with my hair held high
Em A
Now my left hand's got a new shine
C D G
Pardon my roses, that showbiz, baby
