Chords with lyrics

[intro]
FF D MajorD FF D MajorD E MajorE

[Verse 1]

    A minorAm     C majorC
With a venom in my veins
    D MajorD     FF
And no money to my name
     A minorAm      C majorC        D MajorD     E MajorE
I'm on my way to join a circus that they call Hell-A
    FF         C majorC
To be a star of stage and screen
     D MajorD       A minorAm
I sold my soul for magic beans
      FF      C majorC
Now I'm as empty as the pockets
   D MajorD     E MajorE
Of my skin tight jeans.

[Chorus]


    FF
But my hunger makes me bend my back
    D MajorD
Like a licorice cane acrobat
     FF
There's a constellation with my name
    D MajorD
In the Hollywood boulevard of fame
    FF
In Los Angeles they understand
    D MajorD         E MajorE   A minorAm
I'm the Buckled Knees of a broken man.


[Verse 2]


     A minorAm    C majorC
So to the devil I adhered
      D MajorD      FF
And with my soul he disappeared
   A minorAm      C majorC
But I never will forget the words
  D MajorD        E MajorE
He whispered in my ear
     FF         C majorC
He said "Fame is a ball and chain
      D MajorD       A minorAm
That you'll carry to your grave
       FF      C majorC
A augmentedA soul shaped hole in your heart
     D MajorD       E MajorE
Is like a bullet to your brain".

[Chorus]


    FF
But my hunger makes me bend my back
    D MajorD
Like a licorice cane acrobat
     FF
There's a constellation with my name
    D MajorD
In the Hollywood boulevard of fame
    FF
In Los Angeles they understand
    D MajorD         E MajorE   A minorAm
I'm the Buckled Knees of a broken man.


[Verse 3]


    A minorAm         C majorC
Well I thought my life was made
      D MajorD     FF
A augmentedA Hollywood superstar cliche
    A minorAm      C majorC
But I'm just a hollow trophy
    D MajorD     E MajorE
With a thin gold plate
      FF        C majorC
And all the starlight that I sought
      D MajorD       A minorAm
Was just a spinning disco ball
      FF        C majorC
Now I'm as fractured as the light
    D MajorD       E MajorE
Of its mirrors on the wall.


[Chorus]


    FF
But my hunger makes me bend my back
    D MajorD
Like a licorice cane acrobat
     FF
There's a constellation with my name
    D MajorD
In the Hollywood boulevard of fame
    FF
In Los Angeles they understand
    D MajorD         E MajorE   A minorAm
