[Intro] E  A  E

E                    A             E
I've been told 'bout living like a star
Bsus2            A           E
Hotel Ritz, champaign and caviar
    A                           E
But no one ever showed me the reverse
                B
And that really hurts
                E
Babe, it really hurts

E                     A             E
They try to sell your body and your soul
Bsus2               A              E
It's the price you pay for rock 'n roll
    A                             E
And no one understands it how you feel
              B
For it's so unreal
              E
Oh, it's so unreal

[Refrão]

E                      A
Baby don't you cry for me
          Bsus2             E
It's an illusion, just an illusion
             E                     A
I thought I knew what life should be
          Bsus2
It's an illusion
          E
Just an illusion

E                 A              E
When critics crucify your latest show
Bsus2             A                 E
Another drink and then you lose control
    A                           E
But then on stage I feel a fire burn
              B
There is no return
                  E
I'm always on the run
  A                               E
I give it to you babe with all my heart
                 B
For it's not too late
                  E
Baby it's not too late

[Refrão]

E                      A
Baby don't you cry for me
          Bsus2             E
It's an illusion, just an illusion
E                                  A
I thought I knew what life should be
          Bsus2
It's an illusion
          E
Just an illusion
E                      A
Baby don't you cry for me
          Bsus2             E
It's an illusion, just an illusion
E                                  A
I thought I knew what life should be
          Bsus2
It's an illusion
          E
Just an illusion
