Verse 1:
BBbG#C#
He, she from goddess to king
EB
I guess you didn't belong
BBbG#C#
In a world so tasteless and lame
EB
We really miss your song
EF#
Because I - I really wonder
BBbG#
Wonder what went wrong
EF#
Because you - you've been away too long
Verse 2:
BBbG#C#
Superstars are frightening - oh
EB
The path they light is dim
BBbG#C#
Sell your soul to your ego
EB
And watch it do you in
EF#
Because I - I really wonder
BBbG#
Wonder what went wrong
EF#
Because you - you've been away too long
