[Intro] G F C C G F C C [Verse 1]
G                 F
  Don't call me a zero,

C
  I'm gonna be a hero,

G               F           C
  Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedy's.

G                F
  I'll be incorporated,

C
  and I'll be imitated,

G         F              C
  And overrated but that doesn't bother me.
[Pre-Chorus]
D                 F
All the jaws with drop,

    C                  D
And all the girls will scream,

    D             F             C              G
And there will commotion when I show up on the scene.
[Chorus]
Em7               A      C        D
All that you will see is a celebrity,

Em7               A      C        D
All that you will see is a celebrity.

D F C D [Verse 2]
G                       F
  When I'm riding in my limo,

C
  I won't look out the window,

G                F              C
  Might make me homesick for humanity.

G                        F
  There's nowhere that I can't go,

C
  And there's nobody I don't know,

G                F                C
  And there's an emptiness that's eating me.
[Pre-Chorus]
D                    F
All the clocks will stop,

    C                   D
And all the jeans will cream,

       D      F        C            G
It has always been my one and only dream.
[Chorus]
Em7               A      C        D
All that you will see is a celebrity,

Em7               A      C        D
All that you will see is a celebrity.
[Bridge]
D     Dmaj7   D7
Leave your    heart,

G
Lay down your art,

       A7
You're here for the party.

D     Dmaj7  D7
Smile and    wave,

G
Try to behave,

   Gm
Be happy that they've

     A7           D
Made you a celebrity.
[Piano Solo] (D Lydian scale) D E/D F#m/D G/D D E/D F#m/D G/D [Verse 3]
D           F       C              D
I could disappear into the great unknown,

    Bm               F       C              G
And it would wear my face as if it were its own.
[Chorus]
    Em7               A      C        D
And all that you will see is a celebrity,

Em7                A     C         D
All that's left of me is my celebrity.

Em7           A         C             D
I will get in first and I will get in free,

Em7                A     C         D
All that's left of me is my celebrity.
