[D] [G]
I am the entertainer, [C] and I know just where I stand
Another [G] serenader, and another long [A]-haired band
[G] Today I am your [D] champion, I [C] may have won your hearts
[C] But I know the game, you'll forget my [Am] name
And I won't be [C] here in another year [D] if I don't stay on [G] the charts
I am the entertainer, and I've [A] had to pay [C] my price
Things I did [G] not know at first, I learned by doing [D] twice
[G] Ah, but still they come to haunt me, [Em] still they [C] want their say
So I've earned a [D] dance with a hand in my [Am] pants
And I rub my neck and I write them a check
And they go their merry [G] way
I am the entertainer, been all [C] around the world
I've played all kinds of palaces, played all [D] kinds of girls
[G] I can't remember faces, I don't remember [C] names
Ah, but what the hell, you know it's just [Am] as well
Cause after a [C] while and a thousand [D] miles, it all [G] becomes the same
I am the entertainer, [A] bring to you my songs
[C] I'd like to spend [G] a day or two, I [D] can't stay that long
Now [G] I've got to meet expenses, I've got to stay in line
Gotta get those [D] fees to the agencies, [Am] and I'd love to stay
[C] But there's bills to pay, [D] so I just don't have [G] the time
I am the [D] entertainer, I come to do [C] my show
You heard my [G] latest record, it's been on the [D] radio
[G] Ah, took me years to write it, [C] they were the best years of my life
It was a beautiful song, [D] but it ran too [A] long
If you're gonna have a hit, [C] you gotta make it fit
[E] So they cut it down to [G] 305
I am the entertainer, the idol [C] of my age
I make all [G] kinds of money, when I go [D] on the stage
[G] Ah, you've seen me in the papers, [Em] I've been in the [C] magazines
But if I go cold, I [D] won't get sold
I get put in the back, in the discount [D] rack, like another [G] can of beans
I am the entertainer, and I know just where [C] I stand
Another [G] serenade, and another [C] long [D] hair band
[G] Today I am your champion, [C] I may have won your [C] heart
But I know the game, you'll forget my [Am] name
I won't be [C] here in another year, if I don't stay [G] on the charts
