The Actor----Michael Learns To Rock


Was the first hit for Michael Learns To Rock in 1991-92. I don't listen to them, but there's just something about this song and it's lyrics that appeals to me.
Intro:

Fsus2   F   AbMaj7   Gm7

Verse 1:

F            G              C
He takes you out and he takes you up.
F             G              C
'Cause he can show you so much.
Ab      Bb         Eb       Ab
I go to bed and tomorrow again.
Fm                      G
There's a lot of work to be done.
F            G                C
He gives you gold and he'll promise you.
F            G              C
The whole world will be yours.
Ab         Bb            Eb       Ab
I just can tell you I love you so.
Fm              G
Even though my odds are low.

Chorus:

F          G           C         F
I'm not an actor, I'm not a star.
    Dm           C        G
And I don't even have my own car.
Ab      Bb          Eb          Ab
But I'm hoping so much you'll stay.
G7                     C
That you will love me anyway.

Verse 2:

F          G              C
The dirty games and the neon shows.
F           G           C
This is the world he knows.
Ab           Bb          Eb       Ab
Watching the stars satisfies my soul.
Fm                         G
Thinking of him makes me feel so cold.
F         G               C
The fancy cars and the restaurants.
F              G            C
You're just so fond of the man.
Ab          Bb          Eb        Ab
Sometimes I wonder if you are blind.
Fm                        G
Can't you see he's got dirt on his mind.

Repeat Chorus

Then play this:

 C         C
Anyway... Anyway...

F   G   C   

F   G   C

Ab   Bb   Eb   Ab   Fm   G

Repeat Chorus and fade out...
