 Verse 1:
 
 	        E (w/intro riff)
 	It's a hard life but you play it for laughs
 	                                   C#m
 	It's a cold-hearted business, keep away from the draft
 	          F#m                         A
 	And your fingers and your throat get sore
 	            F#m                         A    B
 	But they're out there beggin' for some more
 
 Chorus:
 
 	        E             A/E           F#7         B
 	So play on (while the lights shine around your head)
 	     G#         C#m       G#7       C#m
 	Play on (every night in a different bed)
 	         A   Asus2 A  F#m/B
 	And the nights go  on  and...
 
 	[1, 3: E (intro riff, 2X)]
 	[2:    (to bridge)]
 	[4:   G#m  A (to coda)]
 	    ...on
 
 Verse 2:
 
 	Take a break and find a place you can hide
 	'Cause tonight you're got to be a star personified
 	You're rushin' round to get your plane
 	Then it's back in the bubble again
 
 [repeat chorus]
 
 Bridge:
 
 	C
 	Critics comin' 'cause you're Number One (Number One)
 	Am
 	Play your hits and all the girls will come
 	         Em
 	(So play on) play on
 	     C
 	(Play on) play on
 	     A   A/B
 	Play on
