NICKELBACK ROCK STAR
Transcribed by Big Papa Scott
G
I'm through with standing in line to clubs we'll never get in
C
It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win
F G
This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want).........
I want a brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me
(yeah, so what you need)
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
(Been there done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between cher and
James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
Bb
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
C
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

-[CHORUS]-
G
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Bb
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
C
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
Eb F2
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
G
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
Bb
In the VIP with the movie stars
C
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Eb F2
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
and well..
Bb C G
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Bb C G
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
-2ND VERSE-
G
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
C
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
F G
Sign a couple autographs So I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla... ha ha)
I'm gonna dress my ass
with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
Bb
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
C
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
[CHORUS]
-BRIDGE-
Eb
I'm gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
Bb
Gonna pop my pills from a pez dispenser
Eb
Getting’ washed-up singers writing all my songs
C F2
Lip sync em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
[CHORUS]
Eb F2
