Starring Role

	  		
Intro 

Am  F  Dm  F E 

verse 1 
               Am            F 
You're hard to hug, tough to talk to 
      Dm            F E               Am      F 
And I never fall asleep, when you're in my bed 
        Dm           F    E 
All you give me is a heartbeat 
     Am            F 
I've turned into a statue 
       Dm               F E 
And it makes me feel depressed 
           Am            F          Dm             F E 
'Cause the only time you open up is when we get undressed 

Pre-Chorus 1 
    Am                  F 
You don't love me, big fucking deal 
     Dm             F     E 
I'll never tell you how I feel 
    Am                 F 
You don't love me, not a big deal 
     Dm             F     E 
I'll never tell you how I feel 

   Am           G              Dm         F E 
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part 
     Am              G                Dm             F E 
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart 
             F           C                E            Am G 
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role 
   F       E                Am    F    Dm    F E 
If I can't get the starring role 


verse 2 
     Am     F              Dm            F E 
Sometimes I ignore you, so I feel in control 
       Am         F              Dm               F E 
'Cause really, I adore you and I can't leave you alone 
    Am          F              Dm            F E 
Fed up with the fantasies that cover what is wrong 
     Am               F                 Dm               F E 
Come on, baby, let's just get drunk, forget we don't get on 

Pre-Chorus 2 
       Am                 F 
You're like my dad, you'd get on well 
  Dm                F        E 
I send my best, regards from hell 

   Am           G              Dm         F E 
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part 
     Am              G                Dm             F E 
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart 
             F           C                E            Am G 
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role 
   F       E                Am    F    Dm    F E 
If I can't get the starring role
 

Bridge 
  F              C             Am             G 
I never sang for love, I never had a heart to mend 
   F               C              Am             G 
Because before the start began, I always saw the end 
      F                  C          Am               G 
Yeah, I wait for you to open up, to give yourself to me 
    F              C                Am             G 
But nothing's ever gonna give, I'll never set you free 
           Am             G 
Yeah, I'll never set you free

   Am           G              Dm         F E 
It almost feels like a joke to play out a part 
     Am              G                Dm             F E 
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart 
             F           C                E            Am G 
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role 
   F       E                Am    F    Dm    F E   Am 
If I can't get the starring role
