James Blunt – Superstar (Ukulele)

           Dm                   A#
There is an empty space in the chair tonight  

         F           C
Cause he don't feel right  

            Dm                        A#
There are stormclouds brewing at the back of his mind  

       F    C
As he steps outside  

           Dm
He will be twenty in a week  

         A#
But he's old for his years  

         F
He's had many of those  

    C
To confront his own fears  

         Dm                                A#
But his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be  

    A
And his mother isn't growing old gracefully  

         A#                      Dm               C
He says times like these I don't want to be a Superstar  

      A#      Dm                    C
Cause reality tv killed them all in america  

        A#        Dm          C
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine  

  A#              Dm                C          A
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are  

Dm                                      A#
There is an empty space between the lines tonight  

      F            C
And it burns so bright  

          Dm                   A#
And the angry silence that he throws on the floor  

    F               C
Says he don't care anymore  

       Dm                
He had money for the truth  

    A#
But love's a lot more  

        F                               C                  
And the answer's is not the one he was looking for  

     Dm                               A#
His father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be  

         A
And his mother is his mother reluctantly  

         A#                      Dm               C
He says times like these I don't want to be a Superstar  

      A#      Dm                    C

        A#        Dm          C
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine  

  A#              Dm                C          A
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are  

         A#                      Dm               C
