Chords for Icon For Hire ~ Theatre ~ Lyrics

[Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] But my life is a musical
[A] I know how to put on a pretty pathetic show
But [G] I hide backstage, keep the curtains closed
Cause [F#] I'm scared, I'm [G] scared
[B] I'm getting pretty good at feeding them the lines they [A] like
But I don't recognize the girl that I've reached [G] each night
But I can compromise, but I'm convinced [F#] it's right
_ What [B] happened to the [A] girl who could open up the world?
[G] She never does a second glance [F#] at what the other [B] people want
What happened to the dream [A] of the just in love routine?
[G] Cause they never worked [F#] for me
I'm [Bm] _ _
[G] just the [D] entertainer, pretty girl
I pull the strings to [A] help me face the [E] crowd
[Bm] _ _ [G] I laugh, I sweat, I [D] scream, have a real life
[Bm] This is it
_ _ [D] _ They [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ say all the world's a [A] stage
But we write for our identities all the age
Oh [G] well, next act please, I'd like a [F#] change
I don't really like pretending this [B] way
What happened to the girl [A] who could open up the world?
[Gm] She never does a [F#] second glance at what the other people [B] want
What happened to the dream of [A] the just in love [G] routine?
Cause they never worked [F#] for me _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] I pull the strings to help [A] me face
[E] _ [Bm] I wanna laugh, [G] I sweat, I [D] scream, have a real life
This is it
[G] And what's stopping is holding on to the [Bm] action
I'm holding my breath, waiting for the reaction
[D] I hear you, hear your _ mouth shit
And if [A] you like us too, you can follow the [Bm] action
I'm just the entertainer, pretty girl
I pull _ [E] _ [Bm] the strings [G] to [D] help me face the crowd
_ This is [E] it
[Bm] I'm gonna find my [G] theater town
[D] _ _ _
[A] _ [E] _ [Bm] I wanna laugh, [G] I sweat, I [D] scream, have a real [A] life
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [B] _ [F#] _ [D] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _
[D] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ [D] _ _ _
[B] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ _
