Verse 1:
(electric guitar plays only those chords tagged with *)
* *
A thousand hands applaud tonight
* *
I sing my songs my star shines bright
* *
I stop and smile I take my bow
*
I leave the stage and then somehow
Chorus 1:
Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry
[N..]
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 2:
Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry
()
Hating myself since I let you say goodbye

Bridge:
[N..]
Every night a different room
[N..]
Every night a different club
And yet I'm lonely all the time
[N..]
When I sign my autograph
[N..]
When I hold an interview
Can'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
Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me
Your smiling face waiting backstage for me
