D#
You don't know how you took it
You just know what you got
Oh lawdy, you been stealing from the thieves
And you got caught
        G#               F#
In the headlights of a stretch car,
          D#
You're a star

Dressing like your sister
Living like a tart
If they don't know what you're doin'
Babe it must be art
You're a headache, in a suitcase
You're a star

Chorus:
    E            F# A# G#
Oh no, don't be shy
           E          F#
You don't have to go blind,
A#  G#
   Hold me
E    F#
   Thrill me
A#  G#
   Kiss me
E   F#     D#
   Kill me

You don't know how you got here
You just know you want out
Believing in yourself almost as much as you doubt
You're a big smash
You wear it like a rash
Star

Chorus

They want you to be Jesus
They'll go down on one knee
But they'll want their money back
If you're alive at thirty-three
And you're turning tricks
With your crucifix
You're a star, oh child

Chorus
