Child Actor

 
                  Bm                Gmaj7 
I was a child actor, a face on a wall 
D            F#m        Bm             Am     Gmaj7 
Holding my breath as I wait for the curtain to fall 
         D                       F#m 
Was it good enough? Was it ever good enough? 
    Bm                            Gmaj7 
Anything, be the person that you want 
 

 
                  Bm                Gmaj7 
I was a child actor, born to applause 
D         F#m        Bm             Am     Gmaj7 
Wasting away as I chase all the roles I've lost 
        D                       F#m 
Was I good enough? Was I ever good enough? 
      Bm                                 Gmaj7 
Is it me that they see when the cameras are off?

                  Bm                Gmaj7 
I was a child actor, a name on the board 
D       F#m        Bm             Am     Gmaj7 
Losing myself as I use someone else's words 
              D                       F#m 
Is it true enough? Is it ever true enough? 
      Bm                              Gmaj7 
Understand who I am when the credits roll

Where have I seen your face? 
D 
I've seen your face before
