a player , a pawn , a hero , a king

B D#m E B
he’s a player , a pawn , a hero , a king
D#m E F#
a spectacle of spangles as he flies across the screen
E G#m D# G#m
he’s an idol for the lover , a smile for those who cry
E B C#m F#
a fantasy for million ladies and sometimes wonders why

he’s on a carousel , a spent wheel , a never ending line
of interviews and autographs and lights that blind the eyes
but on his way to stardom , he’s had to live some lies
’bout his hopes and dreams , his loves , it seems the world won’t realize

B D#m E B
but he’s a man , a strong and simple man standing proud and walkin tall
E B E B
with a longing for living , never takin just giving
E B A F#
he’s a man that no one really sees at all

he’s a player , a pawn , a hero , a king
