Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
You're [C]not in business to be
pop[Am]ular[C][Em][C]
It's be[G]come so much
about [C]personality[G][Am]
I regard the theater as
[Bm]the greatest of all arts form
[C]The most immedi[G]ate way
in which [C]a human being
Can [G]share [Am]with another the sense of what appears to [Bm]be unity
[Em][C][G][Am]

[Interlude 1]
[C][Em][Am]
[C][Em][Am][G]
[F][C]
First of [G]all, I choose

[Verse 2]
[C]the great roles
[G]And if non[Am]e of these come
I choose the ones [Bm]that pay the rent

[Verse 3]
It was [C]like unfinished
[G]business in my [C]life
Wherever [Am]I went people would say
You would have made [Bm]a great James Bond,
[C]yes[Em][Am]

[Interlude 2]
[C][Bm][Am][C][Em][Am]
[G][F][Am]

[Verse 4]
Let's face [Am]it, p[Em]ostmen do not great
movie heroes make
[Am]The imagination, the industry
And encourages the free [Em]eyes at the door
Do not try [Am]to push your way
Through the front gates of the profession
[Em]But[G]

[Verse 5]
[Em]do your utmost
to find an entry
Through the world of theat[Am]er
There' s the same surge of adrenalin
[Em]You get just before the
[B]camera [C]roles
[G]We have lost our sense

[Verse 6]
[C]of
ritual and ceremony
[G]But[Am] we blame the artists for
not finding [Bm]them for us
Actor[C]s often beh[G]ave like children
[C]And so they're [G]taken for chil[Am]dren,
such [Bm]is an actors life

[Interlude 3]
[C][Em][Am][C][Em][Am]
[C][Em][Am][G][F]
[Am]

[Verse 7]
Let's [Am]face it, [Em]postmen do not great
movie heroes make
[Am]They tramp discontently through
the neighborhood
And the only matter of con[Em]tact
with fellow human beings
Tends to be,
[Bm]tend[Em]s to [Am]be
Reading names and addresses
[Em]off an envelope

[Verse 8]
[Em]There is a great [B]job[Am]
There is the same surge of adrenalin
You get just [C]before the camera [B]roles[C]
[G]Okay, [C]if I wasn't an act[G]or,
[Am]I'd be a sec[Bm]ret[Em][E]
