Verse 
                  G                                C 
I've been sitting here so long, for you to hear my song, 
            D                                G 
And all you want to know, have I been on the radio, 
                  G                                    C 
Who's the biggest star I've seen, what is my favourite scene, 
         D                           G  
And if I get the job would I sing on Mars. 
                G                             C 
Yes Sir I would sing on Mars, I'd play upon a star, 
         D                            G 
I'd sing songs of the Sun and when my job was done, 
              G                                 C 
I would say I love you so, I'd like to play one more, 
         D                         G 
Just for all young lovers, for the road.

Verse 
                G                                    C 
I have known my highs and lows, I've worked in every show, 
               D                        G 
I've played in every town, brought some houses down, 
                  G                              C 
The critics never noticed me, I'm not a star you see, 
          D                      G 
And yet I give my heart to every part. 
                  G                                      C 
I would stand for hours and hours, I'd walk through some showers, 
        D                    G 
With my dancing shoes and my dreams and views, 
               G                                C 
I walk upon an empty stage with one light in my face, 
      D                                    G 
To be told don't phone us, but we'll phone you.

Bridge 
              G                                  C 
Every day the same old scene, the same old happenings, 
          D                     G 
A hundred miles of shows and no place to go, 
                       G                                   C      
And when your luck has all run out, you're asked to take a bow, 
            D                                  G 
You've just stolen the show now you're on your own.
