CHORDS, WRONG LYRICS OR BOTH. THE SONG IS IN G
A CAPO ON 3. SOUNDS GREAT ON ACOUSTIC. ENJOY!
STANDARD TUNING CAPO 3
I'm through with Estanding in line to clubs we'll never get in,
It's like Abottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win,
This Dlife hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to bEe.
I want a Ebrand new house on an episode of Cribs,
And a Abathroom I can play baseball in,
And a Dking size tub big enough for ten plus mEe.
I'll need a Ecredit card that's got no limit,
And a Abig black jet with a bedroom in it,
Gonna Djoin the mile-high club at thirty-seven thousand fEeet.
I want a Enew tour bus full of old guitars,
My own Astar on Hollywood Boulevard,
SomeDwhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for Eme.
I'm gonna traGde this life for fortune and fame,
I'd even Acut my hair and change my name.
'Cause we Eall just want to be big rock stars,
And live in HillGtop Houses driven fifteen cars,
The girAls come easy and the drugs come cheap,
We'll all Cstay skinny cause we jusDt won't eat,
And we'lEl hang out in the coolest bars,
In the VIP Gwith the movie stars,
Every gooAd gold diggers gonna wind up there.
Every plaCyboy bunny with her bleDach blonde hair,
GHey hey AI wanna be a rock Estar!
Hey hGey I waAnna be a rock starE!
I wanna be Egreat like Elvis without the tassels,
Hire Aeight body guards who love to beat up assholes,
Sign a Dcouple autographs so I can eat my meals for fEree.
I'm gonna Edress my ass with the latest fashion,
Get a Afront door key to the Playboy Mansion,
Gonna Ddate a centerfold that loves to blow my money for mEe.
I'm gonna tradGe this life for fortune and fame,
I'd even Acut my hair and change my name.
'Cause we Eall just want to be big rock stars,
And live in HillGtop Houses driven fifteen cars,
The girlAs come easy and the drugs come cheap,
We'll all Cstay skinny cause we jusDt won't eat,
And we'lEl hang out in the coolest bars,
In the VIP Gwith the movie stars,
Every gooAd gold diggers gonna wind up there.
Every plaCyboy bunny with her bleDach blonde hair,
And we'lEl hide out in the private rooms,
With the lateGst dictionary and todays who's who,
They'll get Ayou anything with that evil smile,
EverybodCys got a drug dealer on Dspeed dial,
Well GHey hey AI wanna be a rock Estar!
I'm gonna Csing those songs that offend the censors,
Gonna pop Gmy pills from a pez despenser,
Get wasChed up singers writing all my songs,
Lip Async 'em every night so i won't Dget them wrong!
Well we alEl just want to be big rock stars,
And live in HillGtop Houses driven fifteen cars,
The girAls come easy and the drugs come cheap,
We'll all Cstay skinny cause we jusDt won't eat,
And we'lEl hang out in the coolest bars,
