CWho thanked the Lord for the C+clothes that she wore Amand mended C7Nellie Fwith the Gbig old fashioned Ceyes
CWho won the heart of a C+crowd tore apart, Amtook a bow C7Nellie Fthere's a Gdifferent world Cbackstage
(Chorus:)
BbI see the Fmaj7flood lights burning BbI hear the Fmaj7band play on
BbNow AmNel---Gmlie Ftakes Fher Cbow
CShe said she C+really could not Amstay C7Nellie Fshe had a Gbrand new play to Cplay
CAnd so she C+paints her face and Amsmiles C7 FAnd she'll be Gsome one else in a Cwhile
(Chorus)
CJust another lonely girl who C+could not face a broken world AmAnd so she acts out all her dreams
C7and wishes that's how it had been FBut when the audience is near
GIt seems as though she doesn't seem to Ccare CNellie just sent me a line to C+tell me she was doing fine
AmShe got the lead and on Brodway C7And now they're digging her today
FAnd as she turns the final page GLiving some one's life upon the Cstage
(Chorus)
