Backstage Chords by Gene Pitney

[Abm] This man, [Eb] he's broken practically every record in their country.
[Ab]
Signed an awful lot of autographs along the way.
We're backstage [Eb] with Gene Pitney. _ _ _ _ _
A thousand hands, a floor tonight.
[Fm]
I sing my songs, my star shines [Gm] bright.
I stop and smile, [Ab] I take my vow.
[Bb]
I leave the stage and then somehow [Eb]
backstage, I'm low.
[Cm] _ Backstage I cry, [Ab]
you've gone away.
[Bb] And each night I seem to die a [Eb] 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 [Eb] you so backstage.
I'm [Cm] lonely backstage, I cry.
[Ab] _
Hating myself [Bb] since I let you say goodbye.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
Every night a different [B] show, every night a [Bb] different [Eb] cover.
And yet I'm lonely [Cm] all the [Ab] time.
When I sign my autograph, [Gb] when I hold an [Ab] interview.
Can't get you out [Bb] of my _ mind.
[Eb] _
Come back my love, come back to me.
[Fm]
I need you now, so desperately.
[G]
What [Gm] good is fame, [Ab] it's just a game.
[Bb]
I'd give it all to be the same [Cm] backstage.
I wait now, hoping I'll see [Ab]
your smiling face.
[Bb] Waiting there backstage [Gm] [Cm] for me.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] Your _ face waiting backstage [Bb] for _ me.
_ _ _ [Eb] For me.
