By:  Michael Brown  vh5150@lvcm.com

This is a great song.  I saw the movie Rock Star for the one billionth time today,
and remembered how great of a song this is ... easy too.  It changes to a different
key at the very end, but it's not hard to follow.  Enjoy.

  A           Asus4           Dsus4       D
  The show is over, close the storybook

  A           Asus2           Dsus4       D
  There will be no encore

  A           Asus4           Dsus4       D
  And all the random hands that I have shook, well they're

  A           Asus2           Dsus4       D
  Reaching for the door

  F                     G
  I watch their backs as they leave single file

      I know I can be colorful

      A     Asus2     Dsus4     D
      I know I can be grey

      A     Asus4     Dsus4     D
      And I know this loser's living fortunate

      'Cause I know you will love me either way



  Verse 2:

  Most were being good for goodness sake, but you
  Wouldn't pantomime
  You are more beautifull when you awake
  Than most are in a lifetime
  Through the haze that is my memory, well
  You stayed for drama, though you paid for a comedy

      A     Asus4     Dsus4     D
      I know I can be colorful

      A     Asus2     Dsus4     D
      I know I can be grey

      And I know this loser's living fortunate

      F                         G
      And I know you will love me either way
