Guitar Intro
Intro:
[G] [Fmaj] [C]
[G] [Fmaj] [C]
Verse 1:
G (piano does the rest here)
Don't call me a zero
I'm gonna be a hero
[G]Like Phil Es[Fmaj7]posito or the K[C]ennedys
[G]I'll be incorporated [Fmaj7]
[C]And I'll be imitated
[G]And over[Fmaj7]rated, but that [C]doesn't bother me
Prechorus:
[D]All the jaws will [Fmaj7]drop
And [C]all the girls will [D]scream
And [D]there will be [Fmaj7]commotion when I [C]show up on the [D]scene
Chorus:
[Em7]All that you will [A7]see is [Cadd9]a celebri[D]ty
All that you will see is a celebrity
Interlude:
[D] [Fmaj7] [C] [D]
Verse 2:
When I'm riding in my limo
I won't look out the window
Might make me homesick for humanity
There's nowhere that I can't go
And there's nobody I don't know
And there's an emptiness that's eating me
Prechorus 2:
All the clocks will stop
And all the jeans will cream
It has always been my one and only dream
Chorus
Bridge (hit only G, B and e strings):
[D]Leave your [D7]heart
[G]Lay down your art
A(bar chord)
You're here for the party
[D]Smile and [D7]wave
Try to behave
Be [Gm7]happy that they've made you a celebrity
Prechorus (last one):
[D]I could disap[Fmaj7]pear int[C]o the great un[D]known
And [Bm7]it would wear my [Fmaj7]face as i[C]f it were its [D]own
Chorus:
And all that you will see is a celebrity
All that's left of me is my celebrity
I will get in first and I will get in free
All that's left of me is my celebrity
