Cold Fame

[G]What's the point of fame if it's been abused?
[G]What's a kid like me even got to lose?
[D]Here I am on your bed again.
[D]It's too big for the room it's in.

[G]Watch your face and laugh just a little bit,
[G]everybody knows that you're good at it,
[D]but nothin' hurts like an answered phone,
[D]drinkin' some, wakin' up alone.

[G]Maybe if I try just a little more,
[G]I can take myself from this dirty floor
[D]and walk through buildings of elegance
[D]just like you are intelligent.

[G]But still I fall from grace with this microphone.
[G]How'd you find yourself if you never roam?
[D]Certainly, I'm indebted baby.
[D]Certainly, certainly, yeah.

[A]I know my [G]place but it don't know [D]me.
[A]I know my [G]place but it don't know [D]me.

[G]No one wants to hear that you're breakin' up.
[G]It wasn't long ago we said, "Start me up."
[D]Now all your dreamin' will have to wait.
[D]While you discern, you'll anticipate.

[G]Play your 45 records late at night,
[G]open all the windows, turn out the light.
[D]Mysterious creatures will fill the room;
[D]a midnight show just put on for you.

[G]But still I fall from grace with this microphone
[G]How'd you find yourself if you never roam?
[D]Certainly, I'm indebted baby.
[D]Certainly, certainly, yeah.

[A]I know my [G]place but it don't know [D]me.
[A]I know my [G]place but it don't know [D]me.
