Like I’ve never heard that one before
          G               Bb
See, that one stupid word
         F                Am
Is why I don’t act anymore
    G          F
One bad review

It deserves the same judgement

God, it’s so hard to be good for your age

When you know that your work’s not good enough for the stage
C                         Eaug
You got the skills of an idiot

And the fire in your heart is beginning to fade
