[Verse 1]
G Am
She wanted her face to be famous
G
She dragged it off down to the smoke
C
Where she went on a show where they turn dreams to gold
G D G
And give real people false hope
[Verse 2]
G Am
She needed the comfort she needed the cheer
G
Her children had all flown the nest
C
She desperately wanted to change her career
G D G
To the thing that she felt she did best
[Chorus]
G C
Giving real hope to false people
G D
Telling the world it can sing
G C
False hope to real folk
G D G
You can sing you can sing you can sing
[Verse 3]
G Am
He worked in a shop where they hated his guts
G
Lived in a house just the same
C
And all that he ever requested in life
G D G
Was no swear word prefix in his name
[Verse 4]
G Am
He wanted the glory he wanted the fame
G
In limelight he wanted to soak
C
So he saved up the money and boarded the train
G D G
To where they give plastic people real hope
[Chorus]
G C
Giving real hope to false people
G D
Telling the world it can sing
G C
False hope to real folk
G D G
You can sing you can sing you can sing
[Bridge]
Am G
Take heed if your dreams are a staring
Am G
Dreamboat can end up on the rocks
Am G Em
That road paved with gold is just one block away
D G
From the rear end of Top Of The Pops
D G
From the rear end of Top Of The Pops
Am G
If you want it don't tell us about it
Am G
And if you don't get it don't cry
Am G Em
Just do as they say and follow your dreams
D G
A fool is a weight of a fly
D G
A fool is a weight of a fly
[Chorus]
G C
Giving real hope to false people
G D
Telling the world it can sing
G C
False hope to real folk
G D G
You can sing you can sing you can sing
[Chorus]
G C
Giving real hope to false people
G D
Telling the world it can sing
G C
False hope to real folk
G D G
You can sing you can sing you can sing
