Celebrity Lyrics

CELEBRITY - Barenaked Ladies
Piano Intro
Guitar Intro
Intro:
aj
aj
Verse 1:
G (piano does the rest here)
Don't call me a zero
I'm gonna be a hero
Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys
I'll be incorporated
And I'll be imitated
And overrated, but that doesn't bother me
Prechorus:
All the jaws will drop
And all the girls will scream
And there will be commotion when I show up on the scene
Chorus:
All that you will see is a celebrity
All that you will see is a celebrity
Interlude:
j7
Verse 2:
When I'm riding in my limo
I won't look out the window
Might make me homesick for humanity
There's nowhere that I can't go
And there's nobody I don't know
And there's an emptiness that's eating me
Prechorus 2:
All the clocks will stop
And all the jeans will cream
It has always been my one and only dream
Bridge (hit only G, B and e strings):
Leave your heart
Lay down your art
A(bar chord)
You're here for the party
Smile and wave
Try to behave
Be happy that they've made you a celebrity
Prechorus (last one):
I could disappear into the great unknown
And it would wear my face as if it were its own
Chorus:
And all that you will see is a celebrity
All that's left of me is my celebrity
I will get in first and I will get in free
All that's left of me is my celebrity
