D               A               G
You don't see my face in the magazine.
Em               Bb           D        G      D
Don't expect a lot of applause when we go out.
             A          G        Em          Bb        A
I'll never thank the academy or travel with an entourage.

[Chorus]
D                 F#/C#
But oh, you should know:
                  Bm       Bm/A      G            D
When you take my hand, I feel like Marilyn Monroe.
         F#/C#
When you're close.
              Bm     Bm/A     G         Bm      Bm/A
No matter where we are, I feel like a movie star -
Bb                D
like Marilyn Monroe.

[Verse 2]
D          A            G
I used to live on the sidelines.
Em               Bb        D       G      D
Always keeping my head down and speaking low,
             A          G
but now I'm craving the limelight
Em          Bb        A
ever since you've come around.

[Chorus]
D                 F#/C#
But oh, you should know:
                Bm    Bm/A        G            D
When you take my hand, I feel like Marilyn Monroe.
         F#/C#
When you're close.
        Bm   Bm/A   G          Bm        Bm/A   G  D
I get carried away, music starts to play

[Bridge]
G               D
I keep my feet on the ground.
Em             D
No make believe.
G                    E/G#
- but my head gets lost in the clouds
A
whenever you're with me.

[Chorus]
D               F#/C#
But oh, you should know:
              Bm    Bm/A            G            D
When you take my hand, I feel like Marilyn Monroe.
         F#/C#
When we're close
          Bm   Bm/A    G
No matter where we are.
D               F#/C#
But oh, you should know:
         Bm        Bm/A             G          D
When you take my hand, I feel like Marilyn Monroe.
            F#/C#                 Bm   Bm/A    G
When we're close, no matter where you are
               Bm   Bm/A   Bb              D
I feel like a movie star, like Marilyn Monroe.
