D G
If I don't stay on the charts
G C
I am the entertainer and I've had to pay my price
C G/B C D
The things I did not know at first I learned by doin' twice
G C
Ah, but still they come to haunt me, still they want their say
Cmaj7 D
So I've learned to dance with a hand in my pants
Am Cmaj7
I let 'em rub my neck and I write 'em a check
D G
And they go their merry way
G C
I am the entertainer, been all around the world
C G/B C D
I've played all kinds of palaces and laid all kinds of girls
G C
I can't remember faces, I don't remember names
Cmaj7 D
Ah, but what the hell, You know it's just as well
Am Cmaj7
'Cause after a while and a thousand miles
D G
It all becomes the same
G C
I am the entertainer, I bring to you my songs
C G/B C D
I'd like to spend a day or two, but I can't stay that long

No, I've got to meet expenses, I got to stay in line
Cmaj7 D
Gotta get those fees to the agencies
Am C
And I'd love to stay but there's bills to pay
D G
So I just don't have the time
G C
I am the entertainer, I come to do my show
C G/B C D
You've heard my latest record, it's been on the radio
G C
Ah, it took me years to write it, they were the best years of my life
Cmaj7 D
It was a beautiful song, but it ran too long
Am C
If you're gonna have a hit, you gotta make it fit
D G
So they cut it down to 3:05
G C
I am the entertainer, the idol of my age
C G/B C D
I make all kinds of money when I go on the stage
G C
Ah, you've seen me in the papers, I've been in the magazines
Cmaj7 D
But if I go cold I won't get sold
Am C
I'll get put in the back in the discount rack
D G
Like another can of beans
G(let ring) C(let ring)
I am the entertainer, and I know just where I stand
C(let ring) G/B C D
Another Serenader and another long-haired band
G(let ring) C(let ring)
Today I am your champion, I may have won your hearts

But I know the game, you'll forget my name
