Dm Bb G A x6

Verse:

Dm                  Bb
A lonely boy in the city
G             A                   Dm                 Bb
Standing tall up to his blue jean jacket and eyes of pity
G                     A
He's got a dream, now he told his Papa
G                 A
"Don't you worry Daddy
                Dm                         Bb
I'll be back to show you what a life I've made"
G            A
With a tear falling from his eyes
Dm                        A
He knew that he wanted to be

Chorus:

Dm                  Bb
Oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be
G                     A
Oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol

Verse:

Dm              Bb
Standing in his hometown
G               A
Waiting for the bus that'll take him
Dm                      Bb
Further than he's ever been
G                       A
Picked up his bags and kissed his sweetheart
G                A
"Don't you worry honey, I'll be back
Dm                 Bb
To show you what a life I've made"
G            A
With a tear falling from her eyes
Dm                         A
She knew that he'd love to be

Chorus:

Dm                  Bb
Oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be
G                     A
Oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol
Dm                    Bb
Oh, if he could see, his name on the marquee
G                          A
He'd live so happily, as a teenage idol
