[Verse]
Em A
Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Em/G D C Single notes: B D
Who suffered so much for what he did,
Em A
They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame,
Em/G D C Single notes: B D
Since that day he ain't been the same.
G Am
See the man with the stage fright
F F/D G
Just standin' up there to give it all his might.
Am
And he got caught in the spotlight,
F
But when we get to the end
D G
He wants to start all over again.
Em A
I've got fire water right on my breath
Em/G D C Single notes: B D
And the doctor warned me I might catch a death.
Em A
Said, "You can make it in your disguise,
Em/G D C Single notes: B D
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes."
G Am
See the man with the stage fright
F F/D G
Just standin' up there to give it all his might.
Am
And he got caught in the spotlight,
F
But when we get to the end
D G
He wants to start all over again.
F#m Bm
Now if he says that he's afraid,
C D G
Take him at his word.
F#m Bm
And for the price that the poor boy has paid,
C C#o D Eb Em
He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh.

Em A
Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry,
Em/G D C Single notes: B D
Fancy people go driftin' by.
Em A
The moment of truth is right at hand,
Em/G D C Single notes: B D
Just one more nightmare you can stand.
G Am
See the man with the stage fright
F F/D G
Just standin' up there to give it all his might.
Am
And he got caught in the spotlight,
F
But when we get to the end
D G
He wants to start all over again.
F D G
You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm,
F D G
Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm,
F D G
Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm,
F D G
Let him start all over again
