Only Acting by Kero Kero Bonito
Only Acting
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
C C/B C C/B C
When I step onto the stage, see the curtain raise
C C/B C C/B C
I'm apparent, I've got someone to play
C C/B C
All the crowd, they're in the seats
C C/B C/B
Looking straight at me for an answer
C F F/E
They just get what they see
F F/E F F/E F C C/B
They applaud and the usher's locking the door till the matinee
[Verse 2]
C C/B C C/B C
So I get to know the cast, though it doesn't last
C C/B C C/B C
I'm a pro but I won't take it too far
C C/B C C/B C
Now I know I shouldn't get comfy on the set
C C/B C F F/E
Every time it all comes down when we end
F F/E F F/E F
That's the truth that the stage school doesn't teach you
F C C/B
But it's good to know
[Pre-Chorus]
F G C Am
It takes much more than just learning the script
F G Am Em
You see, you gotta take the part and believe it
F G C Am
Oh, I sometimes make up all of my lines on the spot
F G Dm
But I will always give what I got
[Chorus]
C G Am Em
I thought I was only acting but
F C Dm G
I felt exactly like it was all for real
C G Am Em
I sure didn't know it hurt so bad
F C Dm G
That no rehearsal could show you how to feel
F C
Inside, what you gotta hide
Em
Where to put your pride
Am G
When to realize you've had your
F C
Time, find another role
G
Carry on the show
[Bridge]
[Notes C and B alternating on the bass like in the verse]
You should be able to feel a performance with your whole body and soul
Now I'm gonna teach you everything I've got!
And you, and you, and you, and you!
[Solo]

this is the little guitar solo that comes after the screaming part and then goes into the chorus.
the last note is held (or possibly tremolo picked?) over the rest of the chorus.
When I step onto the stage
See the curtain raise
I'm apparent
I've got someone to play
All the crowd are in the seats
Looking straight at me
For an answer
They just get what they see
They applaud and the usher's locking the door
'Til the matinee
So I get to know the cast
Though it doesn't last
I'm a pro but
I won't take it too far
Now I know I shouldn't get
Comfy on the set
Every time it
All comes down in the end
That's the truth that the stage school doesn't teach you
But it's good to know
It takes much more than just learning a script
You see you gotta take the part and believe it
Oh- I sometimes make up all of my lines on the spot
But I will always give what I got
I thought I was only acting
But I felt exactly like it was all for real
I sure didn't know it hurt so
But then no rehearsal could
Show you how to feel inside
What you gotta hide
Where to put your pride
When to realise you've had your time
Find another role
Carry on the show
You should be able to feel a performance
With your whole body and soul
Now I'm gonna teach you everything I know
And you and you and you and you
Oh- I sometimes make up all of my lines on the spot
But I will always give what I got
I thought I was only acting
But I felt exactly like it was all for real
I sure didn't know it hurt so
But then no rehearsal could
Show you how to feel inside
What you gotta hide
Where to put your pride
When to realise you've had your time
Find another role
Carry on the show
I thought I was only acting
But I felt exacexacexacexaexa
What you gotta hide
How to feel inside
What you gotta hide
