Biography:
The Verve Pipe is an American post-grunge band from East Lansing, Michigan. It was formed in 1991 by Brian Vander Ark, Brad Vander Ark, Donny Brown and Brian Stout, releasing their first album, I've Suffered a Head Injury later that year. They released a second album Pop Smear helping to gain a devoted following in their native state of Michigan, which led to signing with RCA Records in 1995.
Despite the similarity in name to the British band The Verve, there is no relation between the two.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I transcribed this song from the movie "Rock Star"
There is no key change in the movie, thus there is no key change
in this version - the original version does have a key change.
I typically use the chords around the 7th fret until the band comes in.

Solo Acoustic Intro (2X) A Asus4 Dsus4 D
[Verse 1]
A Asus4 Dsus4 D
The show is over, close the storybook
They'll be no encore
And all the random hands that I have shook, well they're
Reaching for the door
F G
I watch their backs as they leave single file
You stood stubborn, cheering all the while
[Chorus]
A Asus4 Dsus4 D
I know I can be colorful
A Asus2 Dsus4 D
I know I can be grey
A Asus4 Dsus4 D
And I know this loser's living fortunate
F G
'Cause I know you will love me either way
***(Band in)*** Intro (2x) ***
[Verse 2]
Most were being good for goodness sake, but you
Wouldn't pantomime
You are more beautifull when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime
Through the haze that is my memory, well
You stayed for drama, though you paid for a comedy
[Chorus]

We'll live in drama, but we'll die in a comedy

I know I can be grey
And I know this loser's living fortunate
F G
And I know you will love me either way

I know I can be colorful
I know I can be grey
And I know this loser's living fortunate

And I know you will love me
And I know you will love me

And I know you will love me either way
