Verse 1
 D                A
You want to be an actress

     G               D
And step down on the stage

line 3
You are going to the school juliard, To learn how to strut so high and proud

 D                    A
Make me stand up and notice

      G           D
That you are not afraid

line 3
I believe in you, And I believe you'll have it made


Chorus: play line 4 over words

I cut out my heart,  and nail it away

Save it for your summer holiday
You'll forget about me,  When your name is on the marquee
And the rich boys come out to play, Upon Avenue "A"


Verse 2

You've got your reasons
And I've got mine
I'll nail your cards and letter on the wall
To remind me that you are still out there
Because I won't know the girl on the screen at all

Chorus

Cut out my heart
And nail it away
And save it for your summer holiday
You'll forget about me
When your name is on the marquee
And your up on Avenue "A"
Cut out my heart
And nail it away
And save it for your summer holiday
Teach them how to laugh and feel
When they put you to the test
For there is something special in you
That you must express
Don't forget about me
When your name is on the marquee
And the rich men come to stay
Up on Avenue "A"
Up on Avenue "A"
