capo 1st fret - all chords are relative to capo

[G] The lights go [Am] up on stage while you [C] sit and sip on [D] your chai tea
Out of my guitar you hear a passionate melody
Some folks applaud but you’ve probably never even heard of me
While on the table next to you is a stack of my CDs

As you listen, you think my lyrics are so deep
But will you still remember them by the time you’re asleep?
You think I sound just like the guy who was up here last week
But there’s something separating me from the rest of the coffee shop music heap

[G] And I am the [D] biggest star (3x) [Am] playing the coffee [D] shops

When I sing against the war I make new fans out in Berkeley
I drop names like Andy Warhol and the SoHo hipsters all love me
I sing songs about love, about peace and justice and being free
None of it means shit but it’s still good ‘cause I got a philosophy degree

(chorus)

[Am] Every[D]where I play there’s [C] someone getting [Em] into what I [Am] say
Somewhere in this crowd of bored kids who just came for a latté
Someone out there thinks the background music sounds kind of okay
Someone loves me everywhere, yeah, someone loves me, someone loves me,
[Am] Someone loves me, [D] please buy my [G] CD

Playing for you on my college campus tour
Singing the song I wrote about a girl I knew before
She meant everything to me and she meant so much more
Until I found out that she was just using me, that fucking whore

(chorus)
Yes I am the biggest star
Strumming on my guitar
Yeah I am the biggest star
And [G] everybody [Am] loves me when I'm [C] playing down here [D] at the coffee [G] shop
