Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 There is an  empty space in the chair  tonight
 Cause he don't  feel right
 There are stormclouds  brewing at the back  of his mind
 As he steps outside
 He will be twenty  in a week
 But he's old  for his years
 He's had many  of those
 To confront  his own fears
 But his father's  not the man he'd like to grow  up to be
 And his  mother isn't growing old gracefully
 He says times  like these I don't want  to be a Superstar
 Cause reality tv  killed them all in america
 Oh the sun  always shines  in a magazine
 Tonight  can we be free  to be who we really  are
There  is an empty space between the lines  tonight
 And it  burns so bright
 And the angry  silence that he throws  on the floor
 Says  he don't care anymore
 He had money  for the truth
 But love's  a lot more
 And the answer's  is not the one he was looking  for
 His father's  not the man he'd like to grow  up to be
 And his mother  is his mother reluctantly
 He says times  like these I don't want  to be a Superstar
 Cause reality tv  killed them all in america
 Oh the sun  always shines  in a magazine
 Tonight  can we be free  to be who we really  are
 He says times  like these I don't want  to be a Superstar
 Cause reality tv  killed them all in america
 Oh the sun  always shines  in a magazine
 Tonight  can we be free  to be who we really  are
