{c: some liberties with the chorus}
Some-[G]body once [D] told me the [Am] world is gonna [C] roll me
I [G] ain't the sharpest [D] tool in the [Am] shed [C]
She was [G] looking kind of [D] dumb with her [Am] finger and her [C] thumb
In the [G] shape of an [D] "L" on her [Am] forehead [C]
{c: }
Well the [G] years start coming and they [D] don't stop coming
[Am] Fed to the rules and I [C] hit the ground running
[G] Didn't make sense not to [D] live for fun
Your [Am] brain gets smart but your [C] head gets dumb
{c: }
[G] So much to do, so [D] much to see
So what's [Am] wrong with taking the [C] back streets?
You'll [G] never know if you don't [D] go
You'll [Am] never shine if you don't [C] glow
{soc}
[G] Hey now, you're an [C] all-star, get your [C#dim] game on, [C] go play
[G] Hey now, you're a [C] rock star, get the [C#dim] show on, [C] get paid
And [G] all that [C] glitters is [C#dim] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the [C] mold
{eoc}
It's a [G] cool place and they [D] say it gets colder
You're [Am] bundled up now, wait [C] 'til you get older
But the [G] meteor men beg to [D] differ
Judging by the [Am] hole in the satellite [C] picture
{c: }
The ice we [G] skate is getting pretty [D] thin
The water's getting [Am] warm so you might as well [C] swim
My world's on [G] fire, how about [D] yours?
That's the way I [Am] like it and I'll never get [C] bored
{soc}
[G] Hey now, you're an [D] all-star, get your [Am] game on, [C] go play
[G] Hey now, you're a [D] rock star, get the [Am] show on, [C] get paid
And [G] all that [D] glitters is [Am] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the [C] mould
[G] Hey now, you're an [D] all-star, get your [Am] game on, [C] go play
[G] Hey now, you're a [D] rock star, get the [Am] show on, [C] get paid
And [G] all that [D] glitters is [Am] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars
{eoc}
Some-[G]body once [D] asked could I [Am] spare some change for [C] gas?
I need to [G] get myself a-[D]way from this [Am] place [C]
I said, [G] "Yup" what a con-[D]cept
I could [Am] use a little fuel my-[C]self
And we could [G] all use a [D] little [Am] change [C]
{c: }
Well the [G] years start coming and they [D] don't stop coming
[Am] Fed to the rules and I [C] hit the ground running
[G] Didn't make sense not to [D] live for fun
Your [Am] brain gets smart but your [C] head gets dumb
{c: }
[G] So much to do, so [D] much to see
So what's [Am] wrong with taking the [C] back streets?
You'll [G] never know if you don't [D] go
You'll [Am] never shine if you don't [C] glow
{soc}
[G] Hey now, you're an [C] all-star, get your [C#dim] game on, [C] go play
[G] Hey now, you're a [C] rock star, get the [C#dim] show on, [C] get paid
And [G] all that [C] glitters is [C#dim] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [C] break the mold
And [G] all that [D] glitters is [C#dim] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the [C] mold
{eoc}
