[Verse 1]
       C                     F             C     
        I've been told 'bout living like a star
        Gsus2           F             C
        Hotel Ritz, Champaign and caviar
            F                           C                                         
        But no one ever showed me the reverse   -   
                        G
        and that really hurts
                        C
        Babe, it really hurts


[Verse 2]
          C                   F             C   
        They try to sell your body and your soul    
        Gsus2              F               C
        It's the price you pay for rock 'n roll
            F                              C 
        And no one understands it how you feel  
                      G                        C
        For it's so unreal   -   Oh, it's so unreal

[Chorus]            
        C                      F 
        Baby don't you cry for me 
                Gsus2               C
        It's an illusion, just an illusion
                    C                    F       
        I thought I knew what life should be

        It's an illusion               Just an illusion


[Verse 3]
             C            F              C      
        When critics crucify your latest show   -   
         Gsus2            F                C
        Another drink and then you lose control
            F                           C                            
        But then on stage I feel a fire burn 
                      G                      C
        There is no return I'm always on the run
          F                               C                                    
        I give it to you babe with all my heart   -   
                         G                             C
        For it's not too late   -    Baby it's not too late
