[Verse 1]
    Bb              D       Eb      Ebm
Oh come and see the opening band
    Bb                   D
Now that you've got your tickets
    Eb           Gb
And beverages in hand
     Bb                   D
They look so tired, sound uninspired
   Eb             Gb
Guitars are secondhand
       Bb              Eb      Bb     F
'Cause no one likes an opening band

[Verse 2]
  Bb             D       Eb      Gb
Nobody likes the opening band
      Bb                 D
Their set time's far too early
         Gm             Eb
And I've never heard of them
    Bb               D
And chances are they won't go far
   Eb             Gb
Career is sure to end
       Bb              Eb      Bb     F
'Cause no one likes an opening band

[Bridge]
Gm     Eb         Bb                  F
   Oh, unfamiliar things will make us nervous
Gm      Eb               Bb             F
   But, singing here for you gives me a purpose

[Verse 3]
F   Bbm  Bb          D       Eb      Ebm
So, Take pity on the opening bands
       Bb             D
'Cause no one came to see them
  Gm                 Eb
Except their mom and dad
    Bb             D
But if you lend an ear
              Eb              Gb
And give them just one little chance
    Bb
You may just like the
    Gm            Gb
You may just like the
    Bb            F            Bb D Eb Gb
You may just like the opening, band
