   Hate when they call me superstar
do I look like a superstar
Am                 Bm11/A            Dadd9/A                                      
    Yet unreach -          able very          far
Am7                   A5

     I cover my face because they do not need to see
       Am             Bm11/A           Dadd9/A

The       world smells of drama and I cover up my nose
      Am              Bm11/A             Dadd9/A                                   
They      faces like          film left          out to long
Am7           Am                                                      
     It gets      overexposed
         A5 /                                                      
Getting       praised by magazines, 
                                                              
From the girlfriends in my clothes
   Am                   Bm11/A                                            
I      hope they still          love me
      Dadd9/A                                                          
When           I should wait
Am7           A5

Now the      fear of blowing up
                                                              
Definitely takes its toll

If it       thinks it´s got my mind
Then it better think again
Am               Bm11/A               Dadd9/A            Am7
