Chords for "The Actress" - (Joe Iconis & Family)

_ _ _ _ She _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
was an actress.
_ _ She had some talent with a lyric, but [Gm] her passion for the [C] craft was [F] unique.
_ _ [A] _ She had [Dm] _ potential. _ _ _
Her approach was part satiric, with [G] an honest, [A] weird, yet [A#] sweet, yet goofy [D] streak.
_ _ [Dm] _ Her [G]
commercial [C#] prospects felt a little [D] bleak.
_ _ So _ she [C] enrolled in a class where they told her she [F] was really just too rough.
[C] She performed with heart and brains, but that [F] was simply not enough.
_ _ [A#] Her package didn't fit into [A] a mold.
_ _ _ _ [G] She'd work when she [A#m] was 60, _ [D] she was [Dm] told. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ She fought her instincts, _ _ _ made herself a [D] bit more edible,
[G] tried hard to not [C] be classified [F] as _ strange, _ [A] scored an [F] audition.
_ _ _ Some new director, _ super credible, [G] he didn't ask her [B] name, [D] just her range. _
_ _ She [C] could have sex, her formal training, and [F] her natural impulse melt.
[C] I think it's worth a shot, is what [F] she told herself she felt. _
And for the [G] first time, [A] she attempted [G#] _ _ [D] to belt. _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ She [D] sang _ loud [G] and high and [Bm] _ impressively.
_ [A] _ _ She [D] sang loud [A] and high _ [F#] and impressively.
[E] _ And she [F#] felt fake _ and weak [Bm] in her _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ grace.
_ [A] _
Still, she [D] sang loud [Bm] and high and impressively.
_ [C#] _
She [D] carried on [A] so sleek and [F#] _ aghastively.
[D] _ _ Oh, [F#] so loud _ and_
_ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah, [E] you should have heard the cheering in the place.
_ [A] _ _ The actress [G] _
belted her [Bm] face off, [A#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] which meant that [E] she no longer _ had [Dm] a face.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Her [D] skin was in a mushy pile of blood in the middle of the floor.
She tried to pick it up, the director said,
You don't need that face no more.
[G] She was ushered off to a costume fitting [F] one in Obie the next day.
[G] It's amazing how quick [C#] things can move [A] when you need snot in the way. _
_ _ _ _ Nowadays, she [D] has no [Dm] eyes now.
_ So it's hard for her to see that this [Gm] world she's living in is not [F] her thing. _
[C#m] She's got an [Dm] unpaid intern _ working for a theater arts degree
who [G] drags her all around to benefits [Dm] to sing.
_ _ And now [D#m] she's climbing.
_ She don't miss _ _ characteristics [G#] that once [C#] distinguished her from [F#] all her peers.
[A#] _ _ _ [Em] _
Fashion.
_ _ She just sees it as logistics.
[A] Singing it and [B] all the [E] audience cheers.
[Em] _ _ _
That's the shit [A] that keeps them [B] _ _
[E] all _ [A] years.
_ She [D] sings loud and [G] high and [Bm] _
impressively.
_ [C#m] _ [D] She sings loud and [C#] high [D] and impressively. _
[A] And she's [F#] got fans who [A#]
shits on [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ her.
Singing [D] loud [G] and high [Bm] and impressively.

_ [E] _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Who the BNT crowd know.

_ [F#] She just needs a [Dm] name.
_ _ [D] _ [C] And now the actress isn't anymore [F] like everybody else.
_ [C] She's tainted goods and armor [F] chinked and through.
_ Her stress, [A#] fury, cries [A] and [D#] fall is [D] nothing new. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ In her apartment _ _ _ _ _ she's fumbling and she's grasping.
Oh [G] the glory and the [A] interns have [F] all gone. _
She [A] trips [B] on her OB.
[Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now she's on the floor and gasping.
Her [G] neck is broken _ [A] and she just screams [Dm] on and on. _ _ _ _
[A#] She _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ just [D] keeps crying _
[C] _ [D] on and on and on [A] and on.
And she'll [D] scream loud [G] and high and in [Bm] pain.

_ _ _ _ _ _ See [D] she was _ usually [G] _ screaming [Bm] anyway.
_ _ _ [A] _ _

[A] _ _
No [F#] one checked on her _
_ [Bm] _ face today.
[E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
The sight they saw _ [A] was [F#] truly a [Bm] disgrace.
_ _ _ [G#m]
The _ [A] dry _ [Bm] and red _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ contorted _ [Bm] _ dead _
_ [D#] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [A]
without [F#] _ _ [D] a face. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Here's [G] the moral of [F#] the story _ _ said the neighbors from [Bm]
downstairs.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [C#] If all [E] you do is just [F#] scream loud.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
