E   B      A    E
I am ready for my close up today
E       B       A        E
Too long I’ve let my self-respect stand in my way
     C#m  E          A   E
Well the prom queen's caught in the high beams
     C#m  E      A   B
And the strings keen it’s a big scene

       E         C#m
But when the house goes up in flames
F#m         A
No one emerges triumphantly from it
     E             C#m
When the scum begins to circle the drain
F#m        Am
Everybody loves a winner

E       B      A    E
I spent eight hours in my make-up chair
E    B           A   E
Waxed my chest and shaved off all my hair
     C#m   E       A    E
Well the fire's bright and the frame's tight
    C#m  E         A    B
Try to get right; well, we’ve still got light

       E         C#m
But when the house goes up in flames
F#m         Am
No one emerges triumphantly from it
     E             C#m
When the scum begins to circle the drain
F#m        Am
Everybody loves a winner

       E         C#m
But when the house goes up in flames
F#m         A
     E             C#m
When the scum begins to circle the drain
F#m        A
