[ Предположительная тональность: C ] F G [Verse] C F Another obituary in the paper today, C G One more for the list of those who've already fallen. C F Another one of our comrades is taken down, C G Like so many others of our calling. C F We tweet our anecdotes, our commentary, C G Or we sing his songs in some sad tribute, C F While the tabloids are holding a story of kiss and tell, F That he's no longer able to deny or refute. [Chorus] F G F G 50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing, F G F G And every word he ever wrote reflecting back to him. [Chorus] C F How well I remember the stadiums we played, C G And the lights sweeping across a sea of 50,000 souls we'd face. C F A serious drug that you could never kick, C G Or one that you couldn't imagine you'd ever replace. C F We flew like kites on the wings of amphetamine, C G Secured only to a bass line and a snare drum beat. C F But really what did any of it mean? F When there's a higher philosophy in reflection and defeat. [Chorus] F G F G 50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing, F G F G And every word he ever wrote reflecting back to him. F G F G Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays, F G F Rock Stars don't ever die, they only fade away. [Verse] C F Reflecting now on my own past, C G Inside this prison I've made of myself. C F I'm feeling a little better today, C G Although the bathroom mirror is telling me something else. C F These lines of stress, one bloodshot eye, C G The unhealthy pallor of a troubled ghost. C F Where did I put my spectacle case? F I'm half blind and as deaf as any post. F G F G 50,000 hands are raised to a man that's just like you and me. F G F G We create the gods we can and gift them immortality. F G F G Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays, F G F Rock Stars don't ever die, they only fade away.
