And he's lonely at the top

_____VERSE__________________________

The band hit the stage
But the crowd only called for Slim
He was the man of the times
He meant everything
When the crowd called for more
The band did a worldwide tour
And he was running the show
Just like an ego-whore


_____CHORUS_________________________ 


They started in the garage practicing
They thought they'd always be the best of friends
A little too much of the light on Slim
A little too much light for any man
Then he started trying to run the show
The band left, they couldn't take no more
Now that fool's singing solo



He's feeling so low

_____INTERLUDE______________________(01:33)

CHe (x32010@1)thought he had everything
DBut (xx0232@1)it was all just a dream
Bm (x24432@1)                                EmCause (022000@1)when you're alone no one sings harmony

CAnd (x32010@1)then the bottom just dropped
DWhen (xx0232@1)the music just stopped
EmThis (022000@1)may come as a shock


But it's lonely at the top

_____VERSE__________________________

In the end of an age and a star turned stardust
Lined with ashes of dreams and bloody music sheets
And the fame killed our friend
We tried again but the chance was slim
Victim of the music industries' beast within

_____CHORUS_________________________

They started in the garage practicing
They thought they'd always be the best of friends
A little too much of the light on Slim
Too much light for any man
Then he started trying to run the show
We had to leave, we couldn't take no more
                              
Now that fool is just singing solo, 



alone

  GLonely (320003@1)at the top
