[Intro]
E A E
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
