Stars, they come and [C#m] go, they come fast, they [Am] come slow, they go [B] like the last light of the sun all [Em] in a blaze.
_ _ All you [A] see is glory, _ _ _ but it [D] gets lonely there when [C#m] there's no one there to [F#] share.
_ _ _ You can shake it [G] away _ if _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
you hear a story. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] People lust for fame _ like _
_ [F#m] athletes in a game. _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ They break [E] their collarbones [Em] and come up swinging. _ _ _
Some of them [A] are crowned, some of them are [G]
downed, _ _ some are lost and never found. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ But most [D] have seen it all. _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ They live their [D] lives inside [B] cafes and [E] music halls, [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ and they always [B] have a story.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ Some make it when [D] they are young. _ _ _
_ [F#] Before the world has done its [Bm] dirty [D] job, _ [G] _ later on [E] someone will say [Em] you've had your day.
_ Now _ _ you must [A] make way, _ _ [Em] _ _
_ don't [A] they always?
_ [A] But you never know [D] the pain of _ _ _ _ using a name you never owned.
[F#] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ The years of forgetting _ what [E] you know too well. _ _
_ _ That [D] you who gave the crown [A] have been let down.
You tried [C] to [B] make _
[Em] _ amends _ _ _ _ _ without _ [A] defending, _ _ _ _ perhaps _ pretending. _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A]
You never saw the [C] eyes _ _ [G]
of young men at [B] 25 who _ _ _ _ _ _ _ followed as you walked, asked for [Em] autographs, _ _ kissed you on the cheek. _ _ _
_ You never could believe they [A] really loved you.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Some make it when they're [D] old. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
Perhaps they have a [F#] soul they aren't [B] afraid to [Em] bear.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Perhaps there's nothing [A] there.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ But anyway that isn't what I meant to say.
[D] _
_ _ I meant to tell about a story, _
[C#m] since we all have stories.
[C] _ _ [F#] _ _
[B] _ But I can't remember it anyway. _ _
[Em] _ So I'll tell about the mood that's [A] in the United [Em] States today.
_ And permeating even Switzerland.
[B] _ _ [A] It goes, [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ but I'll continue anyway until I get it together.
[Bm] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ Some women have a body men will [A] want to see. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So they put it on display.
Some people play a [D] fine guitar. _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [A] I could listen to them play all day.
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ But anyway, _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ I'm trying to tell my story.
_ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] Janis, he intro it very well. _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ Janis Joplin told it even better.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ Billie Holiday [A] even told it even better.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ We always, _ _ [A] _
_ we always, _ [B] _ _
we always have a [Em] story.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _

The latest story that I know is the one that I'm supposed to go out with.
