(intro 2x) D5 Bb5 F5 C5

         D5                    Bb5
There is an empty space in the chair tonight
         F5          C5
Cause he don't feel right
          D5                          Bb5
There are storm clouds brewing at the back of his mind
      F5        C5
As he steps outside
        D5
He will be twenty in a week
         Bb5
But he's old for his years
         F5
He's had many of those
   C5
To confront his own fears
           D5                                Bb5
?Cause his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be
    A5
And his mother isn't growing old grace fully

(refr?o)
        Bb5                 D5                 C5
He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar
      Bb5       D5                   C5
Cause reality tv killed them all in America
       Bb5         D5          C5
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine
  Bb5              D5                C5          A5
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are

         D5                     Bb5
There is an empty space between the lines tonight
       F5        C5
And it burns so bright
        D5                    Bb5
And the angry silence that he throws on the floor
     F5             C5
Says he don't care anymore
       D5
He had money for the truth
    Bb5
But love's a lot more
    F5                                  C5
And the answer's is not the one he was looking for
     D5                               Bb5
His father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be
    A5
And his mother is his mother reluctantly

        Bb5                 D5                 C5
He says times like these I don't want to be a superstar
