Hey guys - there's been a lot of debate about the correct chords for this song on UG.
These are the piano chords
They fit perfectly with both Melanie Martinez &Marina's Starring Role Acoustic.
Transpose -4 to make it a bit easier.
-
(go to verse)
You're hard to hug, tough to talk to
And I never fall asleep,
A
When you're in my bed
All you give me is a heartbeat
I've turned into a statue
And it makes me feel depressed
Cause the only time you open up
is when we get undressed
You don't love me, big fucking deal
I'll never tell, you how I feel
You don't love me, not a big deal
I'll never tell you how I feel
It almost feels like a joke
To play out the part
When you are not the starring role
In someone else's heart
You know I'd rather walk alone,
Than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role.
a
Sometimes I ignore you
So I feel in control
Cause really, I adore you,
And I can't leave you alone
Fed up with the fantasies,
They cover what is wrong
Come on, baby, let's just,
Get drunk, forget we don't get on
You're like my dad, you'd get on well
I send my best, regards from hell
[Chorus] (End with 'if I can't get,
the starring'- straight onto bridge)
I never sent for love,
I never had a heart to mend
Because before the start began,
I always saw the end
Yeah, I wait for you to open up,
To give yourself to me
But nothing's ever gonna give,
I'll never set you free
(hold)
Yeah I'll never set you free
The starring role
