Icon For Hire – Theatre (Guitar)

Am            C              F
My life is a musical, I know how to put on

             Dm          Am
A pretty pathetic show, I hide

                       C
Backstage, keep the curtains closed

            F            Dm
'Cause I'm scared, I'm scared

Am                            C
I'm getting pretty good at feeding them

                 F
The lines they like but I don't

F                              Am
Recognize the girl I face each night

Am                  C
I can compromise till I'm convinced

    F
It's right

Am
What happened to the girl who

         C
Could overlook the world?

      F
She never gave a second to

Dm
What the other people thought

Am
What happened to the dream

       C
Of rejecting the routine?

           F                 Dm
'Cause they never worked for me

Am                     F
I'm gonna burn this theater down

            C
And pray to God for the strength

             G
To help me face the crowd

Am                    F
I wanna live like I lost the script

            C                   G
And scream every line like this is it

Am                  C
They say all the world's a stage

    F
Rewriting your identity is all the rage

Am                          C
Well, next act please, I'd like a change

F                        Dm
I don't really like pretending this way

Am
What happened to the girl who

        C
Could overlook the world?

     F
She never gave a second to

Dm
What the other people thought

Am
What happened to the dream

C
Of rejecting the routine?

      F                     Dm
'Cause they never worked for me

Am                     F
I'm gonna burn this theater down

             C
And pray to God for the strength

             G
To help me face the crowd

Am                    F
I wanna live like I lost the script

             C                G
And scream every line like this is it

Am                     F
I'm gonna burn this theater down

             C
And pray to God for the strength

             G
To help me face the crowd

Am                    F
I wanna live like I lost the script

              C              G
And scream every line like this is it

F
And the sad thing is we're

F
All in on the action

Dm
We're all holding our breath

Dm
Waiting for a reaction

Am
You play your part

Am
I'll be playing with matches

G
And if you'd like a show

G
You can follow the ashes

Am                    F
I'm gonna burn this theater down

             C
And pray to God for the strength

             G
To help me face the crowd

Am                   F
I wanna live like I lost the script

             C                 G
And scream every line like this is it

Am                     F
I'm gonna burn this theater down

            C
And pray to God for the strength

To help me face the crowd

Am                   F
I wanna live like I lost the script

             C                G
And scream every line like this is it
