Chords with lyrics
E MajorE
I found him by the stage last night
D MajorD A augmentedA
He was breathing his last breath
E MajorE
A augmentedA bottle of wine and a cigarette
D MajorD A augmentedA
Was all that he had left
"I can see you make the music
D MajorD E MajorE
'Cause you carry a guitar
A augmentedA
God help the troubadour
F# minorF#m G+G
Who tries to be a star"
G#G# A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
So play the chords of love, my friend
G+G A augmentedA
Play the chords of pain
D MajorD A augmentedA
If you want to keep your song,
E MajorE A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
Don't, don't, don't, don't play the chords of fame
I seen my share of hustlers
As they try to take the world
When they find their melody
They're surrounded by the girls
But it all fades so quickly
Like a sunny summer day
Reporters ask you questions
They write down what you say
(chorus)
They'll rob you of your innocence
They will put you up for sale
The more that you will find success
The more that you will fail
I been around, I've had my share
And I really can't complain
But I wonder who I left behind
The other side of fame
(chorus)
