Start Jamming...
[Eb] A thousand hands applaud tonight [Fm] I sing my songs, my star shines [Gm] bright
I stop and smile, [Ab] I take my vow [Bb] I leave the stage and then somehow [Eb] backstage
I'm [Cm] lonely backstage I cry, [Ab] you've gone away
[Gb] And each night I seem to die a [Eb] little out on that stage
I play the star, [Fm] I'm famous now I've come so [Gm] far, a famous fool
[Ab] I let love [Bb] go, I didn't know I'd miss you [Eb] so backstage
I'm lonely [Ab] backstage I cry, hating myself [Bb] since I let you say goodbye
[Cm] [Ab]
[Bb] [Db] Every night a different, [Bb] every night a different [Eb] love
And yet I'm [Bb] lonely [Cm] all the [Ab] time
When I sign my order, [Gb] when I hold an interview
[Ab] Can't get you out [Bb] of my mind
[Eb] Come back my love, come back to me [Fm] I need you now, so desperately
[Gm] What good is fame, [Ab] it's just a game [Bb] I'd give it all to be the same [Cm] backstage
I wait now, hoping I'll see [Ab] your smiling face [Bb] Waiting there backstage [Cm] for
[Ab] me
Waiting there [Bb] backstage for me
