Verse
A# A#maj7
I am an opera singer
A#7 D#
I stand on painted tape
D# F
It tells me where I'm going
F A#
And where to throw my cape
[Verse 2]
A# A#maj7
I call my co-stars "brother"
A#7 D#
I call my co-stars "knave"
D# F
I play both good and evil parts
F A#
I sing to Verdi's grave
[Verse 3]
A# A#maj7
And every single morning
A#7 D#
By 10 D#M I'm dressed
D# F
My rehearsals last for hours and hours
F A#
With diligence I have been blessed
[Verse 4]
A# A#maj7
Some people, they call me monster
A#7 D#
Some people, they call me saint
D# F
My talent feeds my darker side
F A#
Yet no one will complain
[Chorus]
F A# D#
I am an opera singer
D# A#
I sing in foreign lands
F A# D#
I've sung for kings in Europe
D# A# F
And emperors in Japan
[Verse 5]
A# A#maj7
And after each performance
A#7 D#
People stand around and wait
D# F
Just to tell me that they love my voice
F A#
Just to tell me that I'm great
[Verse 6]
A# A#maj7
I am an opera singer
A#7 D#
I will sing when you're all dead
D# F
I sing the mountains crumbling apart
F A#
I sing what can't be said
[Chorus]
F A# D#
I am an opera singer
D# A#
I sing in foreign lands
F A# D#
Most people seem to know my name
D# A# F
Or at least know who I am
