[Verse]
D
Starting up
Your Chevrolet to packed crowds
Back in the heyday
D
Backfires, like the bravado
You did your best to downplay
D G
Your mistakes are sitting centre stage
Em A
Just like you made them....
D
The American way
G
All of your mistakes
Em
Are sitting centre stage
A
Just like you made them
[Refrain]
G A
With only the seasons keeping time
D G
Who do you wanna be there by your side?
Em A
Burning up beacon, casting light
D Em
Over the empty seats night after night
G
Solo, a dying star
Wants to dance over again
A B7
Perfected steps were so big back then
[Chorus]
Em A
(Ain't nobody singing along)
Ain't nobody singing along
Em A
(Ain't no one remember that song)
No one remembers that song
Em A
Holding on to diminishing dawn
[Verse]
D
Laying down
All you do is clown around
In bed with your lady
D
Pair of die, roll 'em on a rent a night
Throw it all on layaway
D G
Your mistakes are sitting centre stage
Em A
Just like you made them...
D
The American way
G Em
All of your mistakes are sitting centre stage
A
Just like you made them
[Refrain]
G A
With only the seasons keeping time
D G
Who do you wanna be there by your side?
Em A
Burning up beacon, casting light
D Em
Over the empty seats night after night
G
Solo, a dying star wants to dance over again
A B7
Perfected steps were so big back then
[Chorus]
Em A
(Ain't nobody singing along)
Ain't nobody singing along
Em A
(Ain't no one remember that song)
No one remembers that song
Em A
Holding on to diminishing dawn
[Instrumental]

[Post-Chorus]
G A
Solo, a dying star...
G
Solo, a dying star wants to dance over again
A B7
Perfected steps were so big back then
[Chorus]
Em A
(Ain't nobody singing along)
No one remembers that song
Em A
(Ain't no one remember that song)
Em A
Barely holding on (holding on) to diminishing dawn

[Bridge]
D
Rollercoaster, coming down
Em
Wonderland is hitting the ground
D
Letter Z, pocket size
Em
You're winning but you don't realise
G A
You arrive at the fight
Em
Want a piece of me?
D
Come get your slice of life
There she is, paradise
Em
You could stay a while but it wouldn't suffice
D
Yeah you know, she's real nice
m
By now you've been there too many times
G A
You arrive at the fight
Em
Want a piece of me?

Feel the pressure, but why?
Em
Wanna be something?

Come get your slice of life..........
