Just An Illusion

D

[Verse 1]
D                    G            
I've been told 'bout living like a 
 D
star,
A                             D
Hotel Rich, champagne and caviar.
    G                        
But no one ever showed me the 
   D
reverse
                A              
and that really hurts, babe, it 
        D
really hurts.
     D                G           
They try to sell your body and 
  D
your soul,
A                                 
it's the price you pay for rock'n 
D
roll.
    G                              
And no one understands it, how you 
D
feel
              A                
for it's so unreal, oh, it's so 
   D
unreal.

[Chorus]
      D                 G         
Baby, don't you cry for me, it's 
    A                 D
an illusion, just an illusion.
            D                     
I thought I knew what life should 
G             A
be, it's an illusion,
          D
just an illusion.

[Verse 2]
     D            G              
When critics crucify your latest 
D
show,
  A                            
another drink and then you lose 
    D
control.
    G                          
But then on stage I feel a fire 
 D
burn,
              A                  
there is no return; I'm always on 
     D
the run.
  G                                
I give it to you, babe, with all my
 D
 heart,
                 A               
for it's not too late, baby, it's 
         D
not too late.

[End-Chorus]
      D                 G         
Baby, don't you cry for me, it's 
    A                 D
an illusion, just an illusion.
            D                     
I thought I knew what life should 
G             A
be, it's an illusion,
          D
just an illusion.
      D                 G         
Baby, don't you cry for me, it's 
    A                 D
an illusion, just an illusion.
            D                     
I thought I knew what life should 
G             A
be, it's an illusion,
          D       Dsus4      D
just an illusion.
