James Blunt - Superstar

Dm A#
there is an empty space in the chair tonight
F C
cause he don’t feel right
Dm A#
there are stormclouds brewing at the back of his mind
F C
as he steps outside

Dm A#
he will be twenty in a week
F C
but he’s old for his years
Dm A#
he’s had many of those
F C
to confront his own fears

Dm A#
but his father’s not the man he’d like to grow up to be
Asus A
and his mother isn’t growing old gracefully

A# F C
he says times like these i don’t want to be a superstar
A# F C
cause reality tv killed them all in america
A# F C
oh the sun always shines in the magazines
A# Dm C A7
tonight can we be free to be who we really are

Dm A#
theres an empty space between the lines tonight
F C
and it burns so bright
Dm A#
and the angry silence that he throws on the floor
F C
says he don’t care anymore

Dm A#
he had money for the truth
F C
but love’s a lot more
Dm A#
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
Asus A
and his mother is his mother reluctantly

A# F C
he says times like these i don’t want to be a superstar
A# F C
cause reality tv killed them all in america
A# F C
oh the sun always shines in the magazines
A# Dm C A7
tonight can we be free to be who we really are

A# F C
he says times like these i don’t want to be a superstar
A# F C
cause reality tv killed them all in america
A# F C
oh the sun always shines in the magazines
A# Dm C A7
tonight can we be free to be who we really are
