Em A Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid Em/G D C Who suffered so much for what he did, Em A They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame, Em/G D C Since that day he ain't been the same. Chorus: 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. I've got fire water right on my breath And the doctor warned me I might catch a death Said, "You can make it in your disguise Just never show the fear that's in your eyes" Chorus Now if he says that he's afraid Take him at his word And for the price that the poor boy has paid He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry Fancy people go driftin' by The moment of truth is right at hand Just one more nightmare you can stand Chorus Bmm hmm You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm Let him start all over again You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  D  Em  F  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
