Capo 1 fret

[Intro]  
G  C9 Em7 A
 
 
G
Step on the stage
 
     C9
The lights the praise
 
    Em7
The curtain calls
 
        A
And the big parade
 
G                  C9             Em7   A
You know that life all too well
 
 
G
The promise the pain
 
    C9
The valor the rage
 
Em7
Hold up your hands
 
        A
For the bow and the wave
 
G
You know his touch
 
  C9                  Em7     A
A little too well
 
 
Em7
You throw yourself
 
D/F#
Into their arms
 
G               C9
Mistresses have all the fun
 
Em7               D/F#              G
But no one's ever there to take you home
 
 
G
Box up your gloves and your
 
C9
Down coats
 
Em7
Bound for the sun and the
 
A
West coast
 
G                 C9                   Em7        A
Where upper crust tragedies abound
 
G
A tip for the girl at the
 
C9
Coat check
 
Em7
The guy at the door and the
 
A
Bar back
 
G
They know your face
 
C9            Em7    A
Oh so well
 
 
Em7              D/F#
But movies never made you famous
 
G                   C9
All your dreams got lost or traded
 
Em7              D/F#                G       C9
And all you ever cared about got lost
 
Em7              D/F#
But you were surely still an actress
 
G                   C9
Older men would find attractive
 
Em7              D/F#                G       C9
And all you ever cared about got lost
 
 
G      C9
 
 
              Em7             A
Where there's gold, there's a gold digger
 
G
You throw yourself
 
C9
Into their arms
 
Em7             A
Mistresses have all the fun
 
G                 C9                Em7        A
But no one's ever there to take you home
