Verse 1:
(electric guitar plays only those chords tagged with *)
Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4 EbA thousand hands applaud tonight
I sing my songs my star shines bright
Gsus4 Gm G#I stop and smile I take my bow
Bb7sus4I leave the stage and then somehow
Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry
Ab Bb [N.C.]
You've gone away and each night I seem to die a little
Verse 2:
Out on that stage I play the star
I'm famous now I've come so far
A famous fool I let love go
I didn't know I'd miss you so
Chorus 2Eb CmBackstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry
G# Bb (Eb)Hating myself since I let you say goodbye
Bridge:
Db [N.C.]
Every night a different room
Bb [N.C.]
Every night a different club
Eb CmAnd yet I'm lonely all the time
Ab [N.C.]
When I sign my autograph
Gb [N.C.]
When I hold an interview
G# BbCan't get you out of my mind
Verse 3:
Come back my love come back to me
I need you now so desperately
What good is fame it's just a game
I'd give it all to be the same
Chorus 3/Coda:
Backstage I wait now, hoping I'll see
G# Bb CmYour smiling face waiting there backstage for me
G# BbYour smiling face waiting backstage for me
Backstage
Eb Eb7/C# G#/C Bb Ebsus4 EbBackstage
