Standard (EADGBE)

He's a player, a pawn, a hero, a king

A spectacle of spangles as he flies across the screen

He's an idol for the lover, a smile for those who cry

A fantasy for million ladies and sometimes wonders why

He's on a carousel, a spent wheel, a never ending line

Of interviews and autographs and lights that blind the eyes

But on his way to stardom, he's had to live some lies

'Bout his hopes and dreams, his loves, it seems the world won't realize

But he's a man, a strong and simple man standing proud and walkin tall

With a longing for living, never takin just giving

He's a man that no one really sees at all

He's a player, a pawn, a hero, a king
