D
[Verse 1]
D G D
I've been told 'bout living like a star,
A D
Hotel Rich, champagne and caviar.
G D
But no one ever showed me the reverse
A D
and that really hurts, babe, it really hurts.
D G D
They try to sell your body and your soul,
A D
it's the price you pay for rock'n roll.
G D
And no one understands it, how you feel
A D
for it's so unreal, oh, it's so unreal.
[Chorus]
D G A D
Baby, don't you cry for me, it's an illusion, just an illusion.
D G A
I thought I knew what life should be, it's an illusion,
D
just an illusion.
[Verse 2]
D G D
When critics crucify your latest show,
A D
another drink and then you lose control.
G D
But then on stage I feel a fire burn,
A D
there is no return; I'm always on the run.
G D
I give it to you, babe, with all my heart,
A D
for it's not too late, baby, it's not too late.
[End-Chorus]
D G A D
Baby, don't you cry for me, it's an illusion, just an illusion.
D G A
I thought I knew what life should be, it's an illusion,
D
just an illusion.
D G A D
Baby, don't you cry for me, it's an illusion, just an illusion.
D G A
I thought I knew what life should be, it's an illusion,
D Dsus4 D
just an illusion.
