(Em D C)

Am D Em
For the entire song

Verse :

Em  D          C
  I stand here waiting
    Am     D        Em
for you to bang the gong

Em  D         C
 to crash the critic saying:
Am             D          Em
is it right or is it wrong?

Em  D    C            Am     D        Em
 If only fame had an IV baby could I bare,
Em D    C              Am             D          Em
 being away from you I found the vein put it in here.

Pre-Chorus :

               Em        D         C
I live for the applause, applause, applause.
               Am
I live for the applause-plause,
D            Em
live for the applause-plause.
             Em           D         C
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me.
    Am        D         Em
The applause, applause, applause.

Chorus:

Em            D            C
 Give me that thing that I love
(i’ll turn turn the lights out)
Am              D          Em
 Put your hands up make’em touch
(make it real loud) x2


 Em      D         C
A|-P-P-L-A-U-S-E

Am       D     Em
 Make it real loud
(put your hands up make’em touch)

A|-P-P-L-A-U-S-E x2


Verse :
Em D   C
 I overheard your theory,
Am         D      Em
 nostalgia’s for geeks.
Em D          C
 I guess sir, if you say so,
Am               D        Em
 some of us just like to read.

Em   D      C
 One second I’m a Kunst fan,
Am            D         Em
 suddenly the Kunst is me.
Em   D       C
 Pop culture was in art now,
Am              D       Em
Art’s in Pop culture in me.

Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me.
