Am G Am G Dear Frustrated Superstar, your mother's waiting in the car C G To whisk you off to your new premiere Am G And all the friends who knew your name Am G Are waiting, wondering what became C G Of the girl that they once knew but never loved C They never loved Am G So every city tells the lie Am G Of tramps and beggars, butterflies C G Of all these things, then what am I? Am G A princess in a threadbare gown Am G A gaudy, painted circus clown? C G A child who lost her key and can't get home?
[Bridge]
Am All the things I never was - Am G A traitor of the Western Wars Am G A girl who did it just because Am G Do or die, or don't at all Am G Prepare to suffer for your call Am G F Some things have to hurt or they're not true F G They can't be true
[Chorus]
C When you die, you'll wonder, "was that it?" F Will you think of how you'd wished you lived? G Well, you're here now F G Yes you're here now C So I only want to be up there F With a hundred others, I don't care G 'Cause I'm here now F G Yes I'm here now
[Verse]
Am G Papers, books, philosophy Am G An envelope's eternity C G I count each passing minute, hour, day..... C Wonder how I smile so well F Wonder how they never tell C G There's really no one living here at all
[Bridge]
Am So hear a line from God's own song Am G To comfort you when things go wrong Am G My children never visit me Am7 G Go searching in my sky at night Am G They must be there to set alight Am G F G Their mother's aching heart is so unsure F G I'm so unsure....
[Chorus]
C When you die, you'll wonder, "was that it?" F Will you think of how you'd wished you lived? G Well, you're here now F G Yes you're here now C So I only want to be up there F With a hundred others, I don't care G 'Cause I'm here now F G Yes I'm here now C Again Am Again C Again
[Outro]
C Am Dear Frustrated Superstar, I really hope you get that far C G If not, I hope you live C I hope you live
