[G D] [Am C]
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain`t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an `L` on her forehead
[G D] [Am C]
Well the years start coming and they don`t stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn`t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
[G D] [Am C]
So much to do so much to see
So what`s wrong with taking the back streets
You`ll never know if you don`t go
You`ll never shine if you don`t glow
|G C |C#b5 C|
Hey now you`re an All Star get your game on, go play
|G C |C#b5 C|
Hey now you`re a Rock Star get the show on get paid
|G C |C#b5 C|
And all that glitters is gold
|G F | C |
Only shooting stars break the mold
|G D| |Am C|
It`s a cool place and they say it gets colder
You`re bundled up now but wait `til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
|G D| |Am C|
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world`s on fire how about yours
That`s the way I like it and I`ll never get bored
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
|G D| |Am C|
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming and they don`t stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn`t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what`s wrong with taking the back streets
You`ll never know if you don`t go
You`ll never shine if you don`t glow
[Repeat Chorus]
