Intro: F# B G#m C# (2x)

I'm working 9 to 5

It's like I'm buried alive

My boss is always on my case and I hate him

He's got a Mercedes Benz,

With really lame ass rims
G#m C#
And I'm stuck at the bus stop waiting!
F# B G#m C#
His girlfriend is 18, and my girl dumped me

She said 'You can't afford me' and went for the money, the money, money, money,
F# B
I wish I was a Rock Star, (Oh Oh)

Breaking all the girls hearts (Oh Oh)
F# B
If I was Eddie Vedder (Oh Oh)
G#m C#
I bet you'd like me better (Oh Oh)
F# B
Doing shots of Petrone, With P!nk and Emma Stone
G#m C#
And the paparazzi stalk us when they carry me home
D# C# B
I wish I'd learnt to play the damn guitar

I wish I was a Rock Star (whistle)
F# B G#m C#
I wish I was a Rock Star (whistle)

VERSE 2
When I got home, it went from bad to worse,
My roomie sold my x-box for a six pack
I wanna kick his ass and get all my cash back,
But he's six foot four and a douchebag
So I'm heading to LA, with the guitar I can't play,
Hoping to someday make a lot of money, money, money, money.
F# B
I wish I was a Rock Star, (Oh Oh)
G#m C#
Breaking all the girls hearts (Oh Oh)
F# B
If I was Eddie Vedder (Oh Oh)
G#m C#
I bet you'd like me better (Oh Oh)
F# B
Doing shots of Petrone, With P!nk and Emma Stone
G#m C#
And the paparazzi stalk us when they carry me home
D# C# B
I wish I'd learnt to play the damn guitar
F# B G#m C#
I wish I was a Rock Star (whistle)
F# B G#m C#
I wish I was a Rock Star (whistle)
I learnt a couple of chords and kept the verses short,
It was sad but now it's kinda funny,
I wrote a catchy song that went to number 1,
About a girl that left me for the money.
Now I am a Rock Star, (Oh Oh)
Breaking all the girls hearts (Oh Oh)
Hanging out with Vedder (Oh Oh)
I bet you like me better (Oh Oh)
Doing shots of Patron,
With P! nk and Emma Stone
I bet that you wish that you could carry me home
Thank God I learnt to play the damn guitar
And I thank you for the way you broke my heart
Cos now I am a Rock Star
I am a Rock star
I'm a Rock Star!
