[Em][D][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
He's [G]the star
on the stage
[Gsus4]But he screams all night
'Cause [F]he [G]can't get [Gsus4]to sleep at all
And [C]his [G]favorite book by the[Gsus4] TV light
[C]Can't stop this mat[G]inee
He's played [C]it [G]over and over

[Verse 2]
And he can[F]'t stop the music
Or [Em]remember the ending to his [Am]song
[D]He played it much too lon[G]g
[Gsus4][G]
[F][Gsus4][C][Gsus4][C]

[Verse 3]
[Gsus4][G]
[F]All [G]those hard- earned word[C]s
That [Gsus4]he's fought from his pen
Have [C]been for[Gsus4]gotten in[G]
some empty [C]hall
And [G]those wide- eyed look[C]s
On [Gsus4]those wiped- out fac[C]es
Makes him [G]dream of them
[C]places [G]over and over
And [F]he can't stop the music

[Verse 4]
Or re[Em]member the ending [D]to his [Am]song
[D]He [F]played [G]it much too [Gsus4]long
[G][C][G][Em][G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
Wouldn't believe your [Bm]ears
If [C]he told you what the
papers used [G]to say
But that was in his heyday
[Am]Yeah, back in his prime
He had the fans [Bm]in line
You should've [C]seen him then
Now look at him

[Verse 6]
[D]His [G]hair is gettin' thin
There's [C]one last [G]show
before the glory [C]ends
[G]There in the wings waits his only fri[C]end
The [G]record that he's prayed
to over and over

[Verse 7]
And [F]he can't stop the mu[C]sic
[F]Or re[Em]member the ending to his [Am]song
[D]He played it muc[C]h too[G]
[Gm]long[Gsus4][F][G][C]
No, he [G]can't stop the music, oh no

[Verse 8]

like [F]that?) Music[G]

that?) Can't stop the music

it go like that?) Music
(Did it go like this or did it go like
that?) Can't stop the music
(Did it go like this or did it go like
[Gsus4]that?) Mu[G]sic
(Did it go like this or did it go like
that?) Can't stop the mu[C]sic
[G](Did it go like this or did it
go like that?) Music
(Did it go like this or did it go like that?)
