Let Me Be Your Star

     F#
Fade in on a girl
        Ebm
With a hunger for fame
       B          Bm          F#  
And a face and a name to remember.
Bbm

    Ebm
The past fades away
        B
Because as of this day
              E
Norma Jean's gone,
             Bm/C
She's moving on.

     F#
Her smile and your fantasies
Bbdim
Play a duet
           B
That will make you forget
           E  B
Where you are.
     F#           Bbm
The music starts playing
         Ebm
It's the beat of her heart saying,
E       B         F#  Bm/C  F#  Bm/C
"Let me be your star."

       F#
Flash back to a girl
       Ebm
With a song in her heart
Continues after the ad
          B          Bm     
As she's waiting to start the 
     F#     Bbm
adventure.
     Ebm
The fire and drive
            B
That make dreams come alive,
               E
They fill her soul.
            Bm/C
She's in control.

     F#
The drama, the laughter,
    Bbdim
The tears just like pearls.
               B                
Well, they're all in this girl's 
       E    B
repertoire.
      F#          Bbm
It's all for the taking,
          Ebm
And it's magic we'll be making.
E      B        F#  Bm/C  F#
Let me be your star.

                     Bb
I'll just have to forget the hurt 
that came before,
   F#m
Forget what used to be.
     B              Abm
The past is on the cutting room 
floor,
     B        C7        C#
The future is here with me.
       D7
Choose me!

     G
Fade up on a star
        Em
With it all in her sights:
         C            Cm
All the love and the lights
         G        Bm
That surround her.
    Em
Someday she'll think twice
        C
Of the dues and the price
                F
She'll have to pay
(She'll have to pay)
         Cm/C#
But not today
(But not today)

            G
Then she'll do all she can
        Bdim
For the love of one man
         C                       F C
And for millions who look from afar.
     G                Bm
And what you've been needing
        Em
Is all here and my heart's pleading.
F      C        G   Cm/C#  G  
Let me be your star!
