	                      triplets


Verse 1:

	        E (w/intro riff)
	It's a hard life but you play it for laughs
	                                   C#m
	It's a cold-hearted business, keep away from the draft
	          F#m                         A
	And your fingers and your throat get sore
	            F#m                         A    B
	But they're out there beggin' for some more

Chorus:

	        E             A/E           F#7         B
	So play on (while the lights shine around your head)
	     G#         C#m       G#7       C#m
	Play on (every night in a different bed)
	         A   Asus2 A  F#m/B
	And the nights go  on  and...

	[1, 3: E (intro riff, 2X)]
	[2:    (to bridge)]
	[4:   G#m  A (to coda)]
	    ...on

Verse 2:

	Take a break and find a place you can hide
	'Cause tonight you're got to be a star personified
	You're rushin' round to get your plane
	Then it's back in the bubble again

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

	C
	Critics comin' 'cause you're Number One (Number One)
	Am
	Play your hits and all the girls will come
	         Em
	(So play on) play on
	     C
	(Play on) play on
	     A   A/B
	Play on
