Starring Role

Intro: C#m   A   F#m   G#7

                C#m     A
You're hard to hug, tough to talk to
   F#m         G#7
And I never fall asleep
            C#m     A
When you're in my bed
        F#m         G#7
All you give me is a heartbeat...


          C#m     A
I've turned into a statue and it
        F#m         G#7
Makes me feel depressed
             C#m     A
'Cause the only time you open up
      F#m         G#7
Is when we get undressed

          C#m     A
You don't love me, big fucking deal
        F#m         G#7
I'll never tell you how I feel
          C#m     A
You don't love me, not a big deal
        F#m         G#7
I'll never tell you how I feel

   C#m          B              
It almost feels like a joke to 
F#m        A
play out a part
     C#m             B
when you are not the starring role
   F#m            A
In someone else's heart
             F#m              
You know I'd rather walk alone 
                E
(rather walk alone)
          G#7                 C#m
Than play a supporting role

If I can't get the starring role

C#m     A
Sometimes I ignore you
F#m         G#7
So I feel in control
C#m     A
'Cause really I adore you
F#m         G#7
And I can't leave you alone
C#m     A
Fed up with the fantasies
F#m         G#7
That cover what is wrong
C#m     A
C'mon baby, let's just get drunk
F#m         G#7
Forget we don't get on

C#m     A
You're like my dad,
 F#m         G#7
you'd get on well.
C#m     A
I send my best
F#m         G#7
regards from hell.

Ponte:

  F#
I never sang for love
        A
I never had a heart to mend
  C#m
Because before the start began
   E
I always saw the end, yeah
F#
I wait for you to open up
A
To give yourself to me
     C#m
But nothing's ever gonna give
      B
I'll never set you free
      F#
Yeah, I'll never set you free
