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