G                F    C  
 Don't call me a zero. I'm gonna be a hero.  
G              F           C  
 Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys.  
G        F            C  
 I'll be incorporated. And I'll be imitated.  
G        F              C  
 And overrated but that doesn't bother me.  

D                 F          C                 D  
All the jaws will drop. And all the girls will scream.  
                     F             C              D  
And there will be commotion when I show up on the scene.  

    Em                A       C2         D  
And all that you will see is a celebrity.  
Em                A       C2         D  
All that you will see is a celebrity.

G                      F    C  
 When I'm riding in my limo. I won't look out the window.  
G              F              C  
 Might make me homesick for humanity.  
G                       F        C  
 There's nowhere that I can't go. And there's nobody I don't know.  
G                F                C  
 And there is an emptiness that's eating me.  

D                        F     C                       D  
All the clocks will stop. And all the jeans will cream.  
                F     C              D  
It has always been my one and only dream.  

    Em                  A      C2         D  
And all that's left of me is my celebrity.  
Em                  A      C2         D  
All that's left of me is my celebrity.   

D     D/C# D/C    G                         A  
Leave your heart. Lay down your art, you're here for the party.  
D     D/C# D/C   G                 Gm                      A  
Smile and  wave. Try to behave, be happy that they've made you a celebrity.  

D  

(Piano solo)  

D            F      C            D  
I could disappear into the great unknown.  
    Bm7              F       C              D  
And it would wear my face as if it were its own.  

    Em               A      C2         D  
And all that you'll see is a celebrity.  
Em                  A      C2         D  
All that's left of me is my celebrity.  

Em              A        C               D  
I will get in first. And I will get in free.  
Em                  A      C2         D  
All that's left of me is my celebrity.
