G C F G
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
G
I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs
C
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
F G
And a king size tub big enough for ten plus me
G
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
C
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
F G
Gonna join the mile high club at 37,000 feet
G
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
C
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
F G
Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me

G
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
A#
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
C
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
D# F
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
G
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
A#
In the VIP with the movie stars
C
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
D# F
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
