            Dm                   A#
There is an empty space in the chair tonight
          F          C
Cause he don't feel right
            Dm                        A#
There are stormclouds brewing at the back of his mind
        F       C
As he steps outside

            Dm
He will be twenty in a week
         A#
But he's old for his years
          F
He's had many of those
        C
To confront his own fears

         Dm                                A#
But his father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be
         A
And his mother isn't growing old gracefully

Chorus:
         A#                       F            C
He says times like these I don't want to be a Superstar
       A#     Dm                      C
Cause reality tv killed them all in america
        A#         Dm          C
Oh the sun always shines in a magazine
   A#              Dm                C        A
Tonight can we be free to be who we really are

There is an empty space between the lines tonight
And it burns so bright
And the angry silence that he throws on the floor
Says he don't care anymore

He had money for the truth
But love's a lot more
And the answer's is not the one
he was looking for

His father's not the man he'd like to grow up to be
And his mother is his mother reluctantly

Chorus - x3
