Dm		Bb
There is an empty space in the chair tonight  
F		C
Cause he don't feel right  
Dm		Bb
There are stormclouds brewing at the back of his mind  
F		C
As he steps outside  
 
Dm		Bb
He will be twenty in a week  
F		C
But he's old for his years
Dm		Bb  
He's had many of those  
F		C
To confront his own fears  
 
Dm		Bb
But his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be  
Asus4		A
And his mother isn't growing old gracefully  
 
Bb		F		C
He says times like these I don't want to be a Superstar  
Bb		F		C
Cause reality TV killed them all in america  
Bb		F		C
Oh the sun always shines in the magazines
Bb		Dm		C		A7
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are  
 
Dm		Bb
There?s an empty space between the lines tonight  
F		C
And it burns so bright  
Dm		Bb
And the angry silence that he throws on the floor  
F		C
Says he don't care anymore  
 
Dm		Bb
He had money for the truth  
F		C
But love's a lot more  
Dm		Bb
And the answer's is not the one he was looking for  
F		C
And his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be  
Asus4		A
And his mother is his mother reluctantly  
 
Bb		F		C
He says times like these I don't want to be a Superstar  
Bb		F		C
Cause reality TV killed them all in america  
Bb		F		C
Oh the sun always shines in the magazines
Bb		Dm		C		A7
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are  
 
Bb		F		C
He says times like these I don't want to be a Superstar  
Bb		F		C
