Starring Role

Capo 2

(Bm D A G) 

you're hard to hug, tough to talk to 
and i never fall asleep, when you're in my bed 
all you give me is a heartbeat 
i've turned into a statue 
and it makes me feel depressed 
cause the only time you open up is when we get undressed 

you don't love me, big fucking deal 
i'll never tell, you how i feel 
you don't love me, not a big deal 
i'll never tell you how i feel 

hook: 
it almost feels like a joke to play out the part 
when you are not the starring role in someone else's heart 
you know i'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role 
if i can't get the starring role. 

sometimes i ignore you so i feel in control 
cause really, i adore you, and i can't leave you alone 
fed up with the fantasies, they cover what is wrong 
come on, baby, let's just, get drunk, forget we don't get on 

you like my dad, you get on well 
i send my best, regards from hell 

hook: 
it almost feels like a joke to play out the part 
when you are not the starring role in someone else's heart 
you know i'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role 
if i can't get the starring role 

i never sent for love, i never had a heart to mend 
because before the start began, i always saw the end 

yeah, i wait for you to open up, to give yourself to me 
but nothing's ever gonna give, i'll never set you free 
yeah i'll never set you free 

hook: 
it almost feels like a joke to play out the part 
when you are not the starring role in someone else's heart 
you know i'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role 
if i can't get the starring role.
