D A
somebody once told me
Em G
the world is gonna roll me
D
I ain't the sharpest
A Em G
tool in the shed..
D A
she was looking kinda dumb
Em G
with her finger and her thumb
D A
in the shape of an "L"
Em G
on her forehead..
D
well, the years start coming
A
and they don't stop coming
Em
fed to the rules
G
and I hit the ground running
D A
didn't make sense not to live for fun
Em
your brain gets smart
G
but your head gets dumb
D A
so much to do, so much to see
Em
so what's wrong with taking
G
the back streets
D A
you'll never know if you don't go..
Em G
you'll never shine if you don't glow..
[Chorus]
D G
hey now you're an all star
G#m G
get your game on, go play..
D G
hey now you're a rock star
G#m G
get the show on get paid..
D G G#m
and all that glitters is gold..
G D C G
only shooting stars.. break the mold..
D
it's a cool place
A
and they say it gets colder
Em
you're bundled up now,
G
wait till you get older
D A
but the meteor men beg to differ
Em
judging by the hole
G
in the satellite picture
D
the ice we skate
A
is getting pretty thin
Em
the waters getting warm
G
so you might as well swim
D A
my world's on fire.. how about yours
Em
that's the way I like it
G
and I never get bored
[Chorus]
D G
hey now you're an all star
G#m G
get your game on, go play..
D G
hey now you're a rock star
G#m G
get the show on get paid..
D G G#m
and all that glitters is gold..
G D C G
only shooting stars.. break the mold..
[Intl] D G G#m G
D G G#m G
D G G#m G
D G G#m G
[Chorus]
D G
hey now you're an all star
G#m G
get your game on, go play..
D G
hey now you're a rock star
G#m G
get the show on get paid..
D G G#m
and all that glitters is gold..
G D C
only shooting stars..
D A
somebody once asked
Em G
could I spare some change for gas
D
I need to get myself
A Em G
away from this place..
D A
I said yep.. what a concept
Em G
I could use a little fuel myself
D A Em G
and we could all use a little change..
D
well, the years start coming
A
and they don't stop coming
Em
fed to the rules
G
and I hit the ground running
D A
