Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]
[G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
I [G]am the entertainer
And I [C]know just where I stand
Another sere[G]nader
and another [C]long-haired [D]band
To[G]day I am your champion
I [C]may have won your hearts
But I know the game, you'll for[D]get my name
And I [Am]won't be here in an[C]other year
If I [D]don't stay on the charts
[G][G]

[Verse 2]
I [G]am the entertainer
And I've [C]had to pay my price
The things I did not [G]know at first
I learned by [C]doin' [D]twice
Ah, but [G]still they come to haunt me
[C]Still they want their say
So I've learned to dance
with a [D]hand in my pants
Let 'em [Am]rub my neck and I [C]write 'em a check
And they [D]go their merry way
[G][G]

[Verse 3]
I [G]am the entertainer
[C]Been all around the world
I've played all kinds of [G]palaces
And laid all [C]kinds of [D]girls
I [G]can't remember faces
[C]I don't remember names
Ah, but what the hell?
You know [D]it's just as well
'Cause [Am]after a while and a [C]thousand miles
[D]It all becomes the same
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 4]
I [G]am the entertainer
I [C]bring to you my songs
I'd like to spend a [G]day or two
I can't [C]stay that [D]long
Naw, I [G]got to meet expenses
I [C]got to stay in line
Gotta get those fees to the [D]agencies
And I'd [Am]love to stay but there's [C]bills to pay
So I [D]just don't have the time
[G][G]

[Verse 5]
I [G]am the entertainer
I [C]come to do my show
You heard my latest [G]record
It's been on the [C]radi[D]o
Ah, it [G]took me years to write it
They were the [C]best years of my life
It was a beautiful song but it [D]ran too long
If you're [Am]gonna have a hit you [C]gotta make it fit
So they [D]cut it down to 3:05
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 6]
I [G]am the entertainer
The [C]idol of my age
I make all kinds of [G]money
When I go [C]on the [D]stage
Ah, you've [G]seen me in the papers
I've [C]been in the magazines
But if I go cold I [D]won't get sold
I'll get [Am]put in the back in the [C]discount rack
Like an[D]other can of beans
[G][G]

[Verse 7]
I [G]am the entertainer
And I [C]know just where I stand
Another sere[G]nader
and another [C]long-haired [D]band
To[G]day I am your champion
I [C]may have won your hearts
But I know the game, you'll for[D]get my name
I [Am]won't be here in an[C]other year
If I [D]don't stay on the charts
[G][G][G][G]
