Verse 1:

       C# minorC#m
Boys call you sexy
And you don't care what they say
See everytime you turn around
They're screaming your name...
Now I've got a confession
When I was young, I wanted attention
A augmentedA
 And I promised myself that I'd do anything
C# minorC#m
 Anything at all for them to notice me

Pre Chorus:

C# minorC#m
 But I ain't complaining We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say What you wanna say
You don't know what it's like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
            A augmentedA        BB
'Cause see, when I was younger, I would say

Chorus:

      C# minorC#m
When I grow up, I wanna be famous
       A augmentedA          AbAb
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
      E MajorE
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
      BB
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
      C# minorC#m
When I grow up, be on TV
      A augmentedA      AbAb
People know me, be on magazines
      E MajorE
When I grow up, fresh and clean
      BB
Number one boy when I step out on the scene

Post Chorus:

  C# minorC#m        BB          A augmentedA     AbAb
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
  C# minorC#m
You just might get it You just might get it
C# minorC#m        BB          A augmentedA     AbAb
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
  C# minorC#m
You just might get it You just might get it

Until I popped up on the TV

 Who knew singing songs would get me this far?

Pre Chorus:

C# minorC#m
