DmTen feet away from the jGudgement day
DmTen feet away from the Grunway
CTell your Amgirlfriend there's a Emparty in town
And she can Fcome and she can Gstay
DmI've been a hotel room and a Gday on the road
DmI've been a stone for every Ghole in the road
Hey CO  there's a Amstage for every sEmtar in the show
And there's a Fstar from every Gstage
TCen feet away from the Gstage she can  stand
Hey DmO do you Fknow if she'll think that Git's grand

Hey DmO do you Fknow if she'll think that Git's grand
TCen feet away she has the Gstage in her hands
Hey DmO does she Fknow that she's a Gstar in the show
Hey CO hey FO hey CO
