_ _ _ _ _ A thousand hands, a quarter knife, [F] I sing my song, my star shines bright, [Gm] I stop and smile, [Ab] I take my bow, [Bb] I leave the stage, and then somehow [Eb] backstage, I'm lonely, [Cm] backstage I cry, [Ab] you've gone away,
[Bb] and each night I seem to [Eb] die a little, out on that stage, I play the star, [Fm] I'm famous now, I've come so [Gm] far, a famous fool, [Ab] I let love [Bb] go, I didn't know, I'd miss you so, [Eb] backstage, I'm [Cm] lonely, backstage I cry,
