Intro
Dm  x4 
 
Verse 1
         Dm 
It was a common story 
yeah who cares that I changed? 
Why are people freaking out? 
Gm           Bb 
Maybe I gave in more than 
         F            C 
I should maybe I sold out 
        Dm 
But the truth was I was really 
getting nowhere until I woke 
                  Gm 
up and found That morals can't 
         Bb 
take you up to the top your 
 F                 C 
standards pull you down 
 
Chorus 1
F               Gm 
Was it worth it what 
       Am Bb 
I gave away For five

minutes of fame Minutes 
     Gm           Am Bb 
over no one knows my name

Or my minute of fame 
 
Verse 2
         Dm 
I always said the thing that 
meant the most to me was my 
               Gm 
very integrity Who would have 
            Bb 
thought I'd ever trade it 
        F       C 
all for popularity Cause the 
Dm 
truth is though I've made 
it to the top I'm anything 
              Gm 
but satisfied I gave up the 
Bb 
only thing that mattered 
F              C 
for this empty life

     Gm           Am Bb

Or my minute of fame
