When You Wasn't Famous (Clean Version) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Ahhh see
Right see the thing that's got it all fucked
up now is camera- phones.
How the hell am I supposed to be able to do
a line in front of complete strangers
When I know they've all
got cameras?

[Verse 2]
When you're [G]a famous boy
It gets really easy to get girls
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt
[D]So whe[F]n you try[G] to pull a girl
Who is also famous too
It feels just like when you wasn't famous
[F]The[G] celebrity pages

[Verse 3]
in papers don't tell tales
[C]that are always to the line of [G]the truth
It's 'til a line at which most likely you'll have the time,
or [F]enough fin[G]ance to sue
Which is why it's so frightening buying papers in
the morning fear[C]ing the next Mike Skinner [G]scoop
'Cos I used to believe what I read,
so now I know that others will believe [F]that it's [G]true

[Verse 4]
[G]But I realised, with you the truth could be,
a whole lot worse than the flack
My whole life I never thought I'd see,
a pop star smoke [F]crack
[G]And I must admit I was quite shocked,
with that thing you did with me on my back
But, outside in the lobby,
I shouldn't have laughed when you slapped that man
[F]When you[G]'re a

[Verse 5]
famous boy
It gets really easy to get girls
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt
[D]So whe[F]n you try[G] to pull a girl
Who is also famous too
It feels just like when you
wasn't [F]famous
[G]You were so much

[Verse 6]
fun
I really got to like you more
than you liked me
I really hoped that you'd stay
Considering the amount of prang you'd
done, you looked [F]amazing on cd [G]uk
You learn dances, do promo, cameras flashing,
get in the van, [C]an' zoom [G]away
I wake up high, dizzed feel hung over
and [F]sorry for my doomed [G]day

[Verse 7]
But I know [G]I got a bit close to you,
and that you found it fucking boring
You taught me so much about how to deal
with the fire I'd [F]fallen [G]in
And what version of a rumour would
be next day everyone's story of me
You taught me all the realities and
turn the page & ignore 'em
[F]When you[G]'re a

[Verse 8]
famous boy
It gets really easy to get girls
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt
[D]So whe[F]n you try[G] to pull a girl
Who is also famous too
It feels just like when you wasn't famous
Any[F]way, I [G]had to rest

[Verse 9]
my beer hat, delete
my dealer's number and unroll [C]my bank [G]notes
And we were on borrowed time anyway,
what with the daily toilet papers not knowin'
And I knew that when the people who thought they knew you,
when they found [C]out, I would've been [G]mocked
Which is ironic, 'cos in reality,
standing next [F]to you I look fucking [G]soft

[Verse 10]
[G]Whenever I see you on MTV,
I can't stop my big wide smile
And past the children's appeal,
I see the darkness [F]behind
[G]We both know the scratches on my back,
much better than the alludes and lies
I miss the bitchin' and shoutin',
but I'm glad I got out in time
[F]When you[G]'re a

[Verse 11]
famous boy
It gets really easy to get girls
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt
So [F]when you [G]try to pull a girl
Who is also famous too
It feels just like when you wasn't [F]famous
[G]"You can't

[Verse 12]
keep fucking
pop- stars
We've got a fucking business to run
There are industry repercussions, Michael!"
I know.
