Ain't we all the stars

Ain't we all the stars

Playing the leading part

In our own soap opera


verse 1
D                         G
Sherry shampooed 'til she got her own chair
A                           D
Now she's playing shrink to every head of hair
D                   G
A mani or a pedi or color or a cut
A                       D
8 hours a day, it's the same old stuff
G

They got trouble with their ex and his next wife
A
Sands through the hourglass, days of our lives



         D
Ain't we all the stars
         Bm
Ain't we all the stars
            G
Playing the leading part
A
In a day time drama
          D
Young and restless hearts
            Bm
Duckin' and throwing darts
           G
Yeah we're all big stars
A
In our own soap opera


Instrumental
D   Bm   G   A


verse 2
      D                           G
Jimmy wipes down the bar, makes a mean martini
     A                    D
They tip it on back and give him the skinny
D                      G
Shaken or stirred or a bottle or a draft
        A                      D
They're bearing their souls to bottom of the glass
         G
They got trouble with their girl and their girlfriend's mama
     A
This one life to live got a whole lotta drama


         D
Ain't we all the stars

Ain't we all the stars

Bridge
Bm
This town might be little bitty
G
But just ask Sherry or Jimmy
D
If Hollywood was handing out Emmys
A
We'd all be saying gimme, gimme, gimme

Ain't we all the stars
