(intro 2x) Dm Bb F C

         Dm                    Bb
There is an empty space in the chair tonight
         F          C
Cause he don't feel right
          Dm                          Bb
There are storm clouds brewing at the back of his mind
      F        C
As he steps outside
        Dm
He will be twenty in a week
         Bb
But he's old for his years
         F
He's had many of those
   C
To confront his own fears
           Dm                                Bb
?Cause his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be
    A
And his mother isn't growing old grace fully

(refr?o)
        Bb                 Dm                 C
He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar
      Bb       Dm                   C
Cause reality tv killed them all in America
       Bb         Dm          C
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine
  Bb              Dm                C          A
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are

( Dm Bb F C )

         Dm                     Bb
There is 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
He had money for the truth
    Bb
But love's a lot more
    F                                  C
And the answer's is not the one he was looking for
     Dm                               Bb
His father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be
    A
And his mother is his mother reluctantly

        Bb                 Dm                 C
He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar
      Bb       Dm                   C
Cause reality tv killed them all in America
       Bb         Dm          C
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine
  Bb              Dm                C          A
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are
