(VERSE 1)

Em Am    D
 I stand here waiting
     Dsus4  Am  Em
 for you to bang the gong
Em Am    D
 to crash the critic saying:
Dsus4  Am  Em
 is it right or is it wrong?
Em  Am   D            Dsus4  Am  Em  
 If only fame had an IV baby could I bare,
Em Am    D             Dsus4  Am  Em
 being away from you I found the vein put it in here.

(PD-C HORUS)

 I live for the applause, applause, applause.
               C
 I live for the applause-plause,
 live for the applause-plause.
             Em
 Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me.
     G
 The applause, applause, applause.

(CHORUS)

Em      Am               D
 Give me that thing that I love
 (i'll turn turn the lights out)
Em      Am                D
 Put your hands up make'em touch
 (make it real loud)

(VERSE 2)

Em   Am   D 
 I've overheard your theory,
Dsus4  Am      Em
 nostalgia's for geeks.
Em   Am   D 
 I guess sir, if you say so,
Dsus4       Am           Em
 some of us just like to read.

Em  Am   D
 One second I'm a Kunst fan,
Dsus4     Am         Em
 suddenly the Kunst is me.
Em  Am   D
 Pop culture was in art now,
Dsus4       Am         Em
 Art's in Pop culture in me.
