There's a photo on the mantelpiece, when you bought your first guitar

Now you're touring stadiums, you've let it go too far  
Ab 
Standing with your manager, your back to every bar

Crowding into toilets with a host of your new-found friends

You got a tux on, nothing's changed 
          Ab 
you got a tux on

It was eyes down in the parlour, they prayed it wouldn't rain

Somewhere in a tenement, in a well-thumbed magazine  
Ab 
Someone finds a photograph that triggers of a dream

The uniform that symbolises the comfortable life
