    I met you in a record store

    You had slept in the clothes you
 wore

   C9
somewhere before

E                         C
    What happened to your guitar?
E                          
    And what happened to the 
  C
prettiest star?
Bm                             
    Can you still play the songs 
        C9
that got you so far?

    High times, a butler in the 
morning

out of your shoes
C              Em
    Black dog, sitting in the park

    I used to see you all the time
    C
 on MTV
E                           
    Read your life story in a 
  C
magazine
Bm                                
    I guess you thought thats the 
           C9
way it'll always be.

E           C
     But I believe in you
E                            C
     Cause I think that you'd want 
me to
Bm                             
     Though I never really liked 
       C9
your songs, it's true
