C#m7    F#7
Star people (star people),
C#m7                           F#7
Counting your money until your soul turns green.
C#m7    F#7
Star people (star people),
C#m7                        F#7
Counting the cost of your desire to be seen.

Bm7      E7            Bm7
I do not count myself among you,
               E7
I may have been living in a dream.
Bm7                  E7           Bm7
It’s just that there seem so many of you,
               E7
Can’t help but hope,
                        C#m7
There’s a difference between.

                      F#7
And if I live to be a hundred and one
       C#m7                      F#7
I will never understand what you are, honey?
    C#m7
I’m looking for sympathy,
     F#7
Just get me on NBC,
       C#m7                         F#7
And where’s the hell’s my dumb ass PR?
Yeah-yeah.

[Chorus]
             C#m7       F#7           C#m7
     I said, maybe your mama gave you up, boy.
               F#7
     (It’s the same old, same old.)
             C#m7       F#7
     I said, maybe your daddy
                      C#m7
     Didn’t love you enough, girl.
      F#7
     (How much is enough?)

C#m7 F#7
Star people (star people),
C#m7                      F#7
Never forget your secret’s safe with me.
     C#m7                      F#7
Just look at all the wonderful people (star people).
     C#m7                     F#7
Hey, trying to forget just who and what they have been.

Bm7         E7
Oh, it’s a dream (it’s a dream)
       Bm7                    E7
With a nightmare stuck in the middle (middle).
              Bm7               E7
Yeah. Are you serious? I’m just curious
        Bm7                 E7
Without all this attention, mm,
               C#m7
You’d die, I’d die,
We’d die.

                      F#7                            C#m7
And if I live to be a hundred and one (wouldn’t we baby),
                             F#7
I will never understand just how.
Uh. (I’m talking to you.)
C#m7                             F#7
You’re looking for sympathy from people who work to eat,
    C#m7                        F#7
And they don’t really seem to mind.
Yeah-yeah.

[Chorus]
             C#m7       F#7           C#m7
     I said, maybe your mama gave you up, boy.
               F#7
     (It’s the same old, same old.)
             C#m7              F#7
     I said, maybe (baby) your daddy
                      C#m7
     Didn’t love you enough, girl.
     (Didn’t love you enough.)
     F#7
     How much is enough? (People.)

Are you serious? I’m just curious.

(Yeah, let’s go back to the play.)
Are you serious?

C#m7   F#7
Hah, DJ (is that why you’re a star?)
                         C#m7
Why do you wanna tell me that?
    F#7       E       C#m7
(Is that what makes a star?)
         F#7
Hah, DJ,
                        C#m7
Get yourself some Oprah cash.

F#7 E     C#m7
Uh, baby,
                                  F#7
Do you really think you’ve got it so hard? Huh?
(Is that what makes a star?)
                                  C#m7                F#7
Do you think it might do you some good to look around you
E     C#m7
And decide how you might feel
       F#7
If the pain you felt was real? Oh, baby,
Tell me.
C#m7
Bad, bad boy.
   F#7      E      C#m7
Is that why you’re here?

                               F#7
Now nothing comes for nothing, baby,
                               C#m7        F#7 E
That fame and fortune’s heaven sent, baby.
    C#m7                       F#7
And who gives a fuck about your problems, darling,
                             C#m7
‘Cause you can pay the rent.
        F#7           E            C#m7
You can pay. (Is that what makes a star?)
Pay.
Pay.
F#7
Pay.

Pay.
Pay.
C#m7
Pay.
             F#7       E       C#m7
(Bad boy, is that what makes a star?)
             F#7
You can pay.
(Is that what makes a star?)

F#7
Baby,
            C#m7
It’s right, baby.
It’s right, baby.
    F#7       E       C#m7   F#7
(Is that what makes a star?)

Baby, you’re a star.
