Stage Name

      Bm
Not a real name
               C
Could be a nickname
D                  G
Or a make-it-stick name
       Em
It's a stage name
      Bm
Not a real name
               C
Could be a nickname
D                     G
Have-to-make-it-stick name


[Verse 1]
            C
Travel incognito
D               G
Move behind the scenes
Em             C
Spin under the radar
   D                 G
If I wanna follow my dream
               C
Leave it all behind me
D          G
Pick my getaway
Em                 C
Maybe the grass is greener
D         G
From far away


[Chorus]
       Em
It's a stage name
      Bm
Not a real name
               C
Could be a nickname
D                  G
Or a make-it-stick name
       Em
It's a stagе name
      Bm
Not a real name
               C
Could bе a nickname
D                     G
Have-to-make-it-stick name

[Verse 2]
C                      D
Must have been off the rails
     G                     Em
To believe in a movie star name
   C                            D
It may have seemed like a good idea
       G
At the time
              C
Well, further on up the timeline
D                   G
It no longer jives, but undermines
Em                      C
I guess I'll have to go back
      D      G
To my proper real name


[Chorus]
        Em
It's my stage name
       Bm
Not my real name
               C
Could be a nickname
D                  G
I-have-to-make-it-stick name
        Em
It's my stagе name
       Bm
Not my real name
            C
Might be my nickname
D                       G
I-have-to-make-it-stick name


[Bridge]
              C
One of them's Ringo and Sting
G
Tell me, what a bad thing
         A
If every woman and man is a star
       D
How do you know who you are?
          C               D
If Thomas Woodward is Tom Jones
G                       Em
Then I know I'm not alone
       C
And if Cliff is Harry Webb
D                    G
And Clive is Georgie Fame
     C
[?]
             D
What the hell?
     G                Em
Man, this is really insane
             C
Have we gone off the rails
D                 G
Or is this just a name game?


[Out-Chorus]
        Em
It's my stage name
       Bm
Not my real name
           C
Could be a nickname
D                     G
Have-to-make-it-stick name
        Em
It's my stage name
            Bm
It's not my real name
            C
Could be my nickname
D                      G
Have-to-make-it-stick— say it again
        Em
It's my stage name
            Bm
It's not my real name
                 C
It used to be my nickname
D                       G
I-have-to-make-it-stick name
        Em
It's my stage name
            Bm
It's not my real name
                 C
It used to be my nickname
D                   G
Now-I-make-it-stick name
