Intro:
G+G Fmaj C majorC
G+G Fmaj C majorC

Verse 1:
G+G (piano does the rest here)
Don't call me a zero
I'm gonna be a hero
G+G      Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys
G+G           Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'll be incorporated
C majorC
And I'll be imitated
G+G    Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC
And overrated, but that doesn't bother me

Prechorus:
D MajorD         Fmaj7Fmaj7
All the jaws will drop
  C majorC         D MajorD
And all the girls will scream
  D MajorD       Fmaj7Fmaj7      C majorC       D MajorD
And there will be commotion when I show up on the scene

Chorus:
E minor 7Em7        A7A7   Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD
All that you will see is a celebrity
All that you will see is a celebrity

Interlude:
D MajorD Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC D MajorD

Verse 2:
When I'm riding in my limo
I won't look out the window
Might make me homesick for humanity
There's nowhere that I can't go
And there's nobody I don't know
And there's an emptiness that's eating me

Prechorus 2:
All the clocks will stop
And all the jeans will cream
It has always been my one and only dream

Chorus

Bridge (hit only G, BB and e strings):
D MajorD     D7D7
Leave your heart
G+G
Lay down your art
    A(bar chord)
You're here for the party
D MajorD     D7D7
Smile and wave

Try to behave
  Gm7Gm7
Be happy that they've made you a celebrity

Prechorus (last one):
D MajorD      Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC       D MajorD
I could disappear into the great unknown
  Bm7Bm7       Fmaj7Fmaj7  C majorC       D MajorD
And it would wear my face as if it were its own

Chorus:
And all that you will see is a celebrity
All that's left of me is my celebrity
I will get in first and I will get in free
All that's left of me is my celebrity
