Conversation With A Rockstar

	  		Intro  G, A, E, C 
(verse 1) 
G 
You're everything I wanna be, 
A 
But that's not true at all, 
E 
I've held you high, 
C 
I built a lie, 
G 
You're nothing like you used to be, 
A 
And that's not right at all, 
E 
You've given in, 
C 
You've let them win, 
C                                         D 
And I'm sorry that these words are coming out of my mouth, 
C                           D   
     But I don't want to be like you, 
C                           D           C D  (Stop) 
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out, 

 
D       E                 C      
Someone else can save the world, 
        G                D               
I won't sell my soul for this, 
         C 
I wasn't meant to make them happy, 
         D 
I wasn't meant to make them money, 
D       E                   C  
Someone else can let it all go, 
          G                   D    
Trade themselves for one more show, 
             C                      D 
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away, 
D                         E  C 
For one meager shot at fame. 
D 


(verse 2) 
G  
I thought you could think for yourself, 
A 
And fight for what you loved, 
E 
They're using you, 
C 
You know they do, 
G 
And I don't think I want to take, 
D 
The same road that you're on, 
A           B   E  C 
It can't be worth, the way you hurt, 
C                                         D   
And I'm sorry that these words are coming out of my mouth, 
C                        D 
  But I don't want to be like you, 
C                           D            C D     
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out, 

 
D       E                 C 
Someone else can save the world, 
        G                D       
I won't sell my soul for this, 
         C 
I wasn't meant to make them happy, 
         D 
I wasn't meant to make them money, 

D       E                   C 
Someone else can let it all go, 
          G                   D 
Trade themselves for one more show, 
             C                      D 
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away, 

For one meager shot at fame. 


(Bridge) 
C                            D 
Do you even remember why you wanted to get this far in the first place? 
C                            D 
Do you even remember why you wanted to be a rock star in the first place? 
C 
Well it's not too late... 
(Slower) 
(Chorus) 
B 
B            E                 C 
'Cuz someone else can save the world, 
          G                 D 
Don't you sell yourself for this, 
(Faster) 
            C  
You weren't meant to make them happy, 
            D                  C 
You weren't meant to make them money, 
             E                    C  
'Cuz someone else can let it all go, 
          G                   D 
Trade themselves for one more show, 
C                                         D                                   
But you weren't meant to throw yourself away, 
               C                         B 
No, we weren't meant to throw ourselves away, 
C                   E                   
For one meager shot at fame.   
C   D                  E     C        D  
Oh, one meager shot at fame, fame oh, fame.
