Get around town, spend your time on the run
    G                       A
You never let down, say you do it for fun

[Verse 2]
G  D
   You crave attention, you can never say "no"
   Throw your affections any way the wind blows
G  D
   You always make it, you're on top of the scene
   You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine

[Chorus]
E
Puttin' on the eyes 'til there's nobody else
    G                      A
You never realize what you do to yourself
E
The things that they see make the daily reviews
    G         D
You never get free - everybody wants you

[Verse 3]
G  D
   Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
   Days at the mirror, patchin' up around the seams
G  D
   You got your glory, you paid for it all
   You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol

[Chorus]
E
Say goodbye to conventional ways
    G                                A
You can't escape the hours, you lose track of the days
E
The more you understand, seems the more like you do
    G          D
You never get away – Everybody wants you
