 If only Fame had an IV Baby could I bare.

 Being away from you I found the vein, put it in here.

E minorEm          D MajorD        C majorC               A minorAm   D MajorD   E minorEm

Put your hands up, make em touch (make it real loud)

  I’ve overheard your theory Nostalgia’s for geeks.
E minorEm  D MajorD     C majorC           A minorAm          D MajorD     E minorEm
  I guess sir, if you say so Some of us just like to read.
E minorEm   D MajorD     C majorC            A minorAm         D MajorD     E minorEm
 One second i’m a kunst Then suddenly the kunst is me.
E minorEm   D MajorD     C majorC           A minorAm           D MajorD     E minorEm
 Pop culture was in Art now ART’s in POP culture, in me!
