Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) D F#m Stars, they come and go. F#m They come fast, they come slow. Cm B7 They go like the last light of the sun, Em All in a blaze. A And all you see is glory. D But it gets lonely there, C# Gb When there's no one there to share. Em We can shake it away, A If you'll hear a story. D A People lust for fame, D7 D Like athletes in a game. Bm7 We break our collarbones, Em7 And come up swinging. A7 Some of us are crowned, A Some of us are downed Em A7 Some are lost and never found. D But most have seen it all. F#m They live their Lives, D Em7 In sad cafes and music halls A They always have a story D Some make it when they are young, F#m Bm Before the world has done its dirty job. G Em7 And later on someone will say, A7 "You've had your day, A now you must make way." D But they'll never know the pain F#m Of living with a name you never owned. Em7 A7 The years of forgetting, A What you know too well- D That you who gave the crown, F#m Have been let down. Bm7 Em7 You try to make amends A7 Without defending D Perhaps pretending A You never saw the eyes B7 Of young men at twenty-five, who followed as you walked, Em7 Asked for autographs, Kissed you on the cheek. A And you never could believe, They really loved you. D Some make it when they're old F#m B7 Em7 Perhaps they have a soul they're unafraid to bare. A7 Perhaps there's nothing there. A D But anyway that isn't what i meant to say I'm meant to tell about a story Cm F#m since we all have stories B7 I can't remember it anyways Em7 A7 So I'll tell about the mood in the in United States today Permeating even Switzerland D It Goes ... D7 G Em But I continue anyway til I get it together Em7 Some women have a body, A7 Men will want to see A So they put it on display, D Some people play a fine guitar. A C I could listen to them play all day. B7 But anyway, Em A I'm trying to tell my story. D Janis Ian told it very well, Bm Em Janis Joplin told it even better, Em7 A Billy Holiday even told it even better. D We always, A we always, Bm7 Em7 we always have a story. and the latest story that I know is the one that i'm supposed to go out with Em and the latest story that I know is the one that i'm supposed to go out with A7 and the latest story that I know is the one that i'm supposed to go out with
