Send a telegram [D] today Tomorrow [C] you'll be on your way
[D] [Em]
Don't be nervous or anything No questions, [C] just get out and play
[Em]
Wake up call to catch [D] the plane You know you're on [C] your own again
[Em]
Someone's banging in [D] your head Why did you get [C] so late for bed?
[Em]
Running late and feeling [D] bad [C] What the worst you've had
[Em]
Make the gate, no time [D] to stare Before you know [C] you're in the air
[Em]
747 flies us high Much higher [C] than we're meant to be
You're [Em]
six miles high but feeling down [E]
And we wish you could [C] be on the ground
Hide [E]
[Em]
your bags and walk for [D] miles Customs man is waiting [C] there
[E] [Em]
Immigration, pass delay You wonder if you'll [C] ever play
[E] [Em]
Limousine is standing by [D]
We get inside and drive [C] a while
[D] [Em]
FM station sounding good Getting better every [C]
mile
[D] I ain't giving [E] you a break I'm a professional, [C] you should know that
[Am] And [Em]
our bed looks [E] the same With all the same [C] old girls in town
[E] [Em]
First reception takes [E] the day With all the same [C] old things to say
[E] [Em]
Need your big duck, smile [E] this way And will you tell [C] me what you play?
[E]
[B]
[A]
So you wanna be a rock and roll star Just listen now to [B] what I [A] say
[A] Give yourself up and let you be gone And things don't die and [B] blood don't [E] play

[C]
[D] [Em]
The soundtrack over, [A]
a [C]
[A] [Em] waste of time
For a real [E]
[C]
[D] [E]
man's cup, [A] a show It's boogie time [C] for everyone
[Em]
Shake your toes, before [A] you go Close enough [C] for one man to go [D] there
[Em] The lights are low, the crowd [A] is high Much higher than [C] they're meant to be
[E] [Em] We take the stage inside [A] the bay The lights come up [C] for a monster scene
