Don't start [G]a band
Oh [D]yea yea [C]yea

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
[G]I hate to rui[D]n the ma [Em]gic
[C]I hate to kill the[Bm] dream[Am]
[G]But once you've [D]been [Em]behind the scenes
then you'll [C]know just what I [Bm]mean[Am]
You might [G]think that's its cool
to get [D]up on stage
And play [C]rock and roll
from your heart and soul
But [G]no one shows up and
your [D]songs all suck
And there's [C]no applause
and no flying [Em]cars
No girls will [G]scream for you and [Am]no
ones gonna [C]stay [D]in love with you
[C]Don't start [G]a band

All the [C]way to [Bm]MTV[Am]

All the [C]bullshit and the [Bm]greed[Am]
Every[G]one is so [D]fake when

And they [C]kiss your ass 'cause
then they get cash
And the [G]business end
will turn [D]every friend
To an [C]enemy oh you will see

and [G]they'll be gone
[Am]Faster than can say [C]'what did
