Intro:
G Fmaj C
G Fmaj C
Verse 1:
G (piano does the rest here)
Don't call me a zero
I'm gonna be a hero
G Fmaj7 C
Like Phil Esposito or the Kennedys
G Fmaj7
I'll be incorporated
C
And I'll be imitated
G Fmaj7 C
And overrated, but that doesn't bother me
Prechorus:
D Fmaj7
All the jaws will drop
C D
And all the girls will scream
D Fmaj7 C D
And there will be commotion when I show up on the scene

Chorus:
Em7 A7 Cadd9 D
All that you will see is a celebrity
All that you will see is a celebrity

Interlude:
D Fmaj7 C D
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
Chorus
Bridge (hit only G, B and e strings):
D D7
Leave your heart
G
Lay down your art
A(bar chord)
You're here for the party
D D7
Smile and wave
Try to behave
Gm7
Be happy that they've made you a celebrity
Prechorus (last one):
D Fmaj7 C D
I could disappear into the great unknown
Bm7 Fmaj7 C D
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
