Starring Role Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Dm][Am]
You're [E]hard to hug,

[Verse 1]
[Am]tough to talk [F]to
And I [Dm]never fall [Am]asleep[E]
when you're [Am]in my be[F]d
All you [Dm]give me is a [Am]heartbeat[E]
I've [Am]turned into a sta[F]tue
And it [Dm]makes me feel dep[Am]ressed[E]
'Cause the [Am]only time you [F]open up
is [Dm]when we get un[Am]dressed[E]

[Pre-chorus 1]
You [Am]don't love me, big [F]fucking deal
I'll [Dm]never tell you [Am]how I [E]feel
You [Am]don't love me, not [F]a big deal
I'll [Dm]never tell you how I feel

[Chorus 1]
It [Am]almost feels [G]like a joke to [Dm]play out a [F]part[G]
When [Am]you are not the s[G]tarring role
in [Dm]someone else's [F]heart
You know I'd [Dm]rather walk alone
(I'd rather walk a[C]lone)
Than play [E]a supporting r[Am]ole
[G]If [F]I can't g[E]et the starring role

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Dm][Am][E]

[Verse 2]
Some[Am]times I ig[F]nore you,
so [Dm]I feel in contr[Am]ol[E]
'Cause [Am]really, I a[F]dore you
and I [Dm]can't leave you a[Am]lone[E]
[Am]Fed up with the [F]fantasies
that [Dm]cover what is [Am]wrong[E]
Come [Am]on, baby, let's j[F]ust get drunk
For[Dm]get we don't get [Am]on[E]

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]You're like my dad, [F]you'd get on well[Dm]
I send my best regards from Hell

[Chorus 2]
It [Am]almost feels [G]like a joke to [Dm]play out a [F]part[G]
When [Am]you are not the s[G]tarring role
in [Dm]someone else's [F]heart
You know I'd [Dm]rather walk alone
(I'd rather walk a[C]lone)
Than play [E]a supporting r[Am]ole
[G]If [F]I can't g[E]et the starring role

[Bridge 1]
I [D]never sang for love,
I ne[E]ver [F]had a heart to mend
[G]Becau[Am]se before the start began,
[G]I a[C]lways saw the end, y[G]eah
[D]I wait for you to open up,[E]
to [F]give yourself to me
[G]But not[Am]hing's ever gonna give,
I'll [G]never set you free
Yeah I'll [D]never set you free

[Chorus 3]
It [Am]almost feels [G]like a joke to [Dm]play out a [F]part[G]
When [Am]you are not the s[G]tarring role
in [Dm]someone else's [F]heart
You know I'd [Dm]rather walk alone
(I'd rather walk a[C]lone)
Than play [E]a supporting r[Am]ole
[G]If [F]I can't g[E]et the starring role

[Outro 1]
[Am]The [F]star[Dm]ring[Am] role[E]
[Am][F][Dm][Am][E]
