[Intro]
A D
[Verse]
F A
Another obituary in the paper today,
F D
One more for the list of those who've already fallen.
F A
Another one of our comrades is taken down,
F D
Like so many others of our calling.
F A
We tweet our anecdotes, our commentary,
F D
Or we sing his songs in some sad tribute,
F A
While the tabloids are holding a story of kiss and tell,
C
That he's no longer able to deny or refute.
[Chorus]
A D A D
50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing,
A D A D
And every word he ever wrote reflecting back to him.
[Chorus]
F A
How well I remember the stadiums we played,
F D
And the lights sweeping across a sea of 50,000 souls we'd face.
F A
A serious drug that you could never kick,
F D
Or one that you couldn't imagine you'd ever replace.
F A
We flew like kites on the wings of amphetamine,
F D
Secured only to a bass line and a snare drum beat.
F A
But really what did any of it mean?
C
When there's a higher philosophy in reflection and defeat.
[Chorus]
A D A D
50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing,
A D A D
And every word he ever wrote reflecting back to him.
A D A D
Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays,
A D A
Rock Stars don't ever die, they only fade away.
[Verse]
F A
Reflecting now on my own past,
F D
Inside this prison I've made of myself.
F A
I'm feeling a little better today,
F D
Although the bathroom mirror is telling me something else.
F A
These lines of stress, one bloodshot eye,
F D
The unhealthy pallor of a troubled ghost.
F A
Where did I put my spectacle case?
C
I'm half blind and as deaf as any post.
[Outro]
A D A D
50,000 hands are raised to a man that's just like you and me.
A D A D
We create the gods we can and gift them immortality.
A D A D
Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays,
A D A
Rock Stars don't ever die, they only fade away.
