C              Em             C      Em        
She swears to live her dream tale can
Am           Em
Lying in her bed
     Am              Em
The bitter taste of champagne
 
C             Em              C     Em      
Goes when the sky is turning red
      Am                Em
She's on the field again
Am               Em
Waiting for the night train

C             Em           C      Em             
She puts her fancy shiny dress
     Am                Em
For one more night of excess
       Am             Em
In her conception of success

C           Em              C     Em
The makeup she puts on her eyes
Am                 Em
Is not hiding the fakeness
Am                    Em
And the emptiness inside

       Am     F    C               Em
She pretends     night after night
       Am     F       C                Em
That she's       the queen of the spotlights
      Am      F       C        Em
She smiles,       so bright     But she will 
              Am      F
never feel alright   
         C              Em 
In this loneliness fight


C  Em  C  Em  
Am Em  Am Em

C         Em            C    Em
Lost in a plastic fairytale
         Am            Em
And the colors of the cocktails
     Am                 Em
Are turning her pale as cocaine

C               Em     C    Em
Trapped in her golden chain
     Am                  Em
She tries sometimes and fail
    Am                 Em
To get away from this hell

C            Em               C      Em
The lipstick she puts on her mouth
         Am                Em
And the pills she has to swallow
      Am                  Em
To escape from truth and sorrows


       Am     F   C                Em
She pretends     night after night
       Am     F       C                      Em
That she's       the queen of the spotlights
      Am      F       C              Em
She smiles,       so bright    But she will 
              Am      F
never feel alright   
         C              Em 
In this loneliness fight


She pretends ... x4  with the same chords as the chorus
