[Verse 1]
A          D                    A                 D
 Up in the little room, looking down, everybody's passing time
A         D                         A                G
 Princess dressed in wool, dreaming eyes, whispering her rhymes
C                         G
 Rain play my song today, no one wants to know me anyway
F
Perfect lover where are you?
F                                 G          F   G
I can't wait much more for you to come true
Am
Shining prince inside my head
D                         C
Live inside a palace underneath my bed
 
 
[Chorus]
    F               Ab                C
And everybody knows who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars
F                Ab          C
Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes
        Bb                Ab               F
They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine

| C     | F     G | Am     | Am     |
 
 
[Verse 2]
A           D                     A                D
 Typewriter steel and gray, work away, everybody's going home
A      D                       A      G
 Over across town, caught in a crowd, still living alone
C
Little room for her out of the rain
G
 A little something for the pain
F                                                                     G    F   G
Lady-in-waiting potentially for the lord of the rock 'n roll aristocracy
Am                                 D            C                 G
  Dreaming in photographs at night, love's like sand held in your hand so tight
 
 
[Chorus]
    F              Ab                C
And everybody know who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars
F                Ab          C
Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes
        Bb                Ab               F
They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine
             (C)
Yeah, the magazine
 
 
[Interlude]

| G       |
 
 
[Bridge]
C
 Everyday's like the day before
G
 Come in tired and lock the door
F
Paint your space with magic hands
F
Shining slick and dandy
G                   F   G
Smile at your fans
Am
  C'mon pretty boy sing for us take me
D                C
Take me over the edge
  G
I know you're good enough
 
 
[Chorus]
    F               Ab                C
And everybody knows who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars
F                Ab          C
Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes
        Bb                Ab           F
They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine
             (D)
Yeah, the magazine
