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 kinda [D] dumb with her [Am] finger and her [C] thumb
in the [G] shape of an "L" [D] on her fore- [Am] head [C]
Well the [G] years start coming and they [D] don't stop coming
[Am] Back 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
Pre-Chorus
[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
Chorus
[G] Hey now you're an [D] All Star get your [Am] game on, go [C] play
[G] Hey now you're a [D] Rock Star get the [Am] show on get [C] paid
And [G] all that [D] glitters is [Am] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the mo- [C] old
It's a [G] cool place and they [D] say it gets colder
You're [Am] bundled up now but wait [C] 'til you get older
But the [G] media men beg to [D] differ
Judging by the [Am] hole in the satellite [C] picture
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 never get [C] bored
Chorus
[G] Hey now you're an [D] All Star get your [Am] game on, go [C] play
[G] Hey now you're a [D] Rock Star get the [Am] show on get [C] paid
And [G] all that [D] glitters is [Am] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the mo- [C] old

Chorus
[G] Hey now you're an [D] All Star get your [Am] game on, go [C] play
[G] Hey now you're a [D] Rock Star get the [Am] show on get [C] paid
And [G] all that [D] glitters is [Am] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars... [F]
Some- [G] body once [D] asked, could you [Am] spare some change for [C] gas
I need to [G] get myself a- [D] way from this [Am] place [C]
I said [G] yep 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]
Well the [G] years start coming and they [D] don't stop coming
[Am] Back 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
Pre-Chorus
[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
Chorus
[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 [D] break the mo- [Am] old [C]
And [G] all that [D] glitters is [Am] gold
[C] Only shooting [G] stars [F] break the mo- [C↓] old
