Intro:


D Em7 D

Verse 1:
D
Someone spilled their beer on me
D
Wash it off I rinse and repeat
           Em7
Be sure to get here a little early
                     D
I’m playing right at 7:30
D

No one knows my name in this crowd
D
I’ll sing my little nameless heart out
                 Em7
I’m putting on a damn good show
                            D
If it’s the last thing I’ll do

Chorus:
Em7               G         D   Asus4     Bm7 D
I’m just the opener, that’s all I’ll ever be
Em7        G    D     Asus4   Bm7 D
I’m the opener, talk right over me
Em7 *                         G *
Cause the concert starts, the second I leave

D

Verse 2:
D
Gotta learn to soak it all in
D                            Asus4
Cause time is in and slowly slipping
D                 Em7
Right through my fingers
                                 D
can’t shut my mouth I’m the lead singer
D
Working hard on the holiday
D                      Asus4 D
3rd winter that I spent away
         Em7     N.C
I put my life on pause
                           D
I’ll stop and hold for applause

Chorus:

            Em7   G        D   Asus4 Bm7 D
I’m just the opener that’s all I’ll ever be


       Em7   G   D   Asus4 Bm7 D
I’m the opener full of apologies
Em7 *                 G *
When the credits roll, they won’t include me
D

Verse 3:
D
I don’t know how to sing about sex
Bm7
Those parts of my life don’t intersect
Em7                                            D
I never understood what they’re all singing about
D
I’m staring at you from the crowd, hoping you’ll single me out
Em7                                                                    D
But that’s not how it happens doing backflips, doing back bends like a clown

Chorus:

           Em7   G        D   Asus4 Bm7 D
I’m just an opener that’s all I’ll ever be

        Em7   G        D   Asus4 Bm7 D
I’m the opener getting you off for free
Em *
When you find your way home
G *
You’ll forget about me

D

Two note melodies
