I am ready for my close up today
E B A E
Too long I?ve let my self-respect stand in my way
C#m E A E
Well the prom queen's caught in the high beams
C#m E A B
And the strings keen it?s a big scene
E C#m
But when the house goes up in flames
F#m A
No one emerges triumphantly from it
E C#m
When the scum begins to circle the drain
F#m Am
Everybody loves a winner

I spent eight hours in my make-up chair
E B A E
Waxed my chest and shaved off all my hair
C#m E A E
Well the fire's bright and the frame's tight
C#m E A B
Try to get right; well, we?ve still got light
E C#m
But when the house goes up in flames
F#m Am
No one emerges triumphantly from it
E C#m
When the scum begins to circle the drain
F#m Am
Everybody loves a winner
E C#m
But when the house goes up in flames
