G                       D
There once was this band
Am                              C
I’m telling you those boys could 
rock
G                       D   
Slim played his guitar like an 
      Am
astronaut

G                       D
But behind the backstage door
A                              C
Somebody turned green for sure
G                       D         
Outshined by the star people loved
Am           Am
 and adored
E|-----C| HORUS-------------------

E|------ 

C
They started in the garage 
practicing
D
They thought they’d always be the 
best of friends
Cm
A little too much of the light on 
Slim

And he’s lonely at the top

E|-----| VERSE--------------------

E|------ 

The band hit the stage
But the crowd only called for Slim
He was the man of the times
He meant everything
When the crowd called for more
The band did a worldwide tour
And he was running the show
Just like an ego-whore

E|-----C| HORUS-------------------

E|------  


They started in the garage 
practicing
They thought they’d always be the 
best of friends
A little too much of the light on 
Slim
A little too much light for any man
Then he started trying to run the 
show
The band left, they couldn’t take no
 more
Now that fool's singing solo



He’s feeling so low
E|-----| INTERLUDE----------------

E|------(01:33) 

C
He thought he had everything
D
But it was all just a dream
Bm                                
Cause when you’re alone no one 
  Em
sings harmony

C
And then the bottom just dropped
D
When the music just stopped
Em
This may come as a shock


But it’s lonely at the top
E|-----| VERSE--------------------

E|------ 

In the end of an age and a star 
turned stardust
Lined with ashes of dreams and 
bloody music sheets
And the fame killed our friend
We tried again but the chance was 
slim
Victim of the music industries' 
beast within
E|-----C| HORUS-------------------

E|------ 

They started in the garage 
practicing
They thought they’d always be the 
best of friends
A little too much of the light on 
Slim
Too much light for any man
Then he started trying to run the 
show
We had to leave, we couldn’t take no
 more

Now that fool is just singing solo,



alone

  G
Lonely at the top
