[Verse 1]
C F
I've been sitting here so long, for you to hear my song,
G C
And all you want to know, have I been on the radio,
F
Who's the biggest star I've seen, what is my favourite scene,
G C
And if I get the job would I sing on Mars.
F
Yes Sir I would sing on Mars, I'd play upon a star,
G C
I'd sing songs of the Sun and when my job was done,
F
I would say I love you so, I'd like to play one more,
G C
Just for all young lovers, for the road.
[Chorus]
F C
Tell me Son, yeah just how far,
F G
I need to go to be a star.
[Verse 2]
C F
I have known my highs and lows, I've worked in every show,
G C
I've played in every town, brought some houses down,
F
The critics never noticed me, I'm not a star you see,
G C
And yet I give my heart to every part.
F
I would stand for hours and hours, I'd walk through some showers,
G C
With my dancing shoes and my dreams and views,
F
I walk upon an empty stage with one light in my face,
G C
To be told don't phone us, but we'll phone you.
[Chorus]
F C
Tell me Son, yeah just how far,
F G
I need to go to be a star.
[Verse 3]
C F
Every day the same old scene, the same old happenings,
G C
A hundred miles of shows and no place to go,
F
And when your luck has all run out, you're asked to take a bow,
G C
You've just stolen the show now you're on your own.
[Chorus]
F C
Yes Sir I would sing on Mars,
F G
My dream scene is me a star,
G
Is me a star,
G
I am a star.
