You try to play cool like you just don't care
But soon I'll be playin' in your underwear
I'm like a mage with the magic spell
You come like a dog when I ring your bell
G#                  Cm
I got the money and I got the fame
C#                     G#
You've got the hots to ride on my plane

No more words will critics have to speak

To the tangled knot
 D#         Cm      C# G#
Sleep tight in your cot

  Cut my heart with a martyr's spike

                      G#
That's what I've been trying to tell you
       G#                          D# 
In act one I was struggling to survive
                         C#
Nobody wanted my action dead or alive
       G#
In act two I hit the big time
     G#                        D# 
and bodies be all up on my behind
                   C#                          G#
And I can't help myself cuz I was born to shine
                             G#
If you don't like it you can shove it
               D# 
But you don't like it you love it
              C#
So I'll be up here in a rage until
             G#
they put the curtain down on the stage
