Tom: E
E A
Just a kid with a song when he wandered from home,
B7 E
in search of the phantom of fame.
E A
She promised she'd wait, but he got back too late.
B7 E
Just a scene from the dark side of fame.
[Verse]
E A
In the wrong frame of mind, he took to the wine,
B7 E
holding pieces of love's broken chain.
E A
It was colder than jade, in this world that he'd made,
B7 E
all alone on the dark side of fame.
(spoken)
E A
His songs were soon curled on the lips of the world.
B7 E
They had earned him the highest acclaim.
E A
And yet his greatest desire was the simple wamth of love's fire,
B7 E
cause its cold on the dark side of fame.
[Verse]
E A
The wine took its toll and soon he'd grown old,
B7 E
much sooner than most people do.
E A
But, there's no trace of shame in the sound of his name,
B7 E
though he lived on the dark side of fame.
B7 E
He lived on the dark side of fame.
