Let's begin at the beginning, we're lovers and we're losers

G                               Am
Skirting 'round the edges of the ideal demographic

We're always on the guest list,but we're always stuck in traffic

We've watched our close associates Up and play their parts; 
G                                       F
They're chatting up the it girls, And they're tearing up the charts, 
G                                       Am
While we were paying with coppers To get our round in at the bar.
G                                       F
We're the C-Team, we're the almost famous Old friends of the stars.

I am sick and tired of people Who are living on the B-list. 
G                               F
They're waiting to be famous And they're wondering why they do this.

About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings, 
G                               Am
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering, 
G                                       F                               C
