    G         D           Am             C               

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me

    G                D           Am   C   

I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

         G              D           Am               C                     

She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the

G            D          Am       C           

shape of an "L" on her forehead

 

  G                                 D

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming

Am                       C

Back to the rules and I hit the ground running

  G                        D

Didn't make sense not to live for fun

      Am                         C

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

 

  G             D

So much to do so much to see

          Am                            C

So what's wrong with taking the back streets

   G                       D

You'll never know if you don't go

   Am                      C

You'll never shine if you don't glow

 

Chorus:

G5                C5                C5/C#       C5 

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play

G5                C5                C5/C#       C5 

Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid

G5             C5          C5/C#  C5 

And all that glitters is gold    only shooting

   G5   F5       C5 (hold 1)

stars break the mold

 

   G                        D

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder

   Am                            C

You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older

    G                    D

But the media men beg to differ

                 Am                   C

Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

 

             G                     D

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin

                    Am                        C

The waters getting warm so you might as well swim

               G               D

My world's on fire how about yours

           Am                             C

That's the way I like it and I never get bored

 

Chorus

 

Instrumental Chorus

 

Chorus, skip last measure

 

     G       D                  Am                   C 

Somebody once asked, could you spare some change for gas

           G           D              Am    C 

I need to get myself away from this place

G                D                Am                C 

I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself

             G          D       Am       C 

And we could all use a little change

 

  G                                 D

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming

Am                       C

Back to the rules and I hit the ground running

  G                        D

Didn't make sense not to live for fun

    Am                      C

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

 

   G             D

So much to do so much to see

   Am                            C

So what's wrong with taking the back streets

        G                       D

You'll never know if you don't go

        Am                         C

You'll never shine if you don't glow

And all that glitters is gold    only shooting
