Only Acting Chords by Kero Kero Bonito

[N] When [D] I step onto [E] the stage, [D] see the curtain [C] raise, I'm [D] a parent, [C#m] I've got someone to play
All [D] the crowd are in their seats, [C] looking straight at [D] me for an answer, they just get what they see
_ _ [F] They applaud in [D] the ashes, locking [A] the door, till the [C] matinee _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Though I get to know the cast, though it doesn't last, I'm a pro but I won't take it too far
Now I know I shouldn't get comfy on the set, every time it all comes down to play
_ That's the truth [D] of the stage, school doesn't teach you, [F] but it's good to [C] know
It _ _ _ _ _
[F] takes [G] much more than [C] just learning the scripts, you [F] see you've gotta take [G] the part and believe [Em] it
Oh [F] I sometimes [G] make a bell run [Am] the lines on the spot, but I will [G] always give what [Dm] I _ got
_ _ _ _ [C] Although [G] I was [A] only [Em] acting, but I [F] felt [C] exactly like it was all [G] for real
[C] I sure [A] didn't know it had [Em] to, but then [F] the rehearsal [C] did show me how [G] to be [F] mental
_ What you've [C] gotta hide, when to [Em] discuss your pride, when to [A] realize [G] you've had [F] your fill
Find [C] another role, to carry [G] on the show _ _
