G D Am C
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
G D Am C
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
G D Am C
She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb
G D Am C
in the shape of an "L" on her forehead
G D
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Am C
Back to the rules and I hit the ground running
G D
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Am C
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
G D
So much to do so much to see
Am C
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
G D
You'll never know if you don't go
Am C
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Chorus
G5 C
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
G5 C
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
G5 C
(And all that glitters is gold)
C G F C
Only shooting stars break the mold
G D
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
Am C
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
G D
But the media men beg to differ
Am C
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
G D
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
Am C
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
G D
My world's on fire how about yours
Am C
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
G5 C
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
G5 C
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
G5 C
(And all that glitters is gold)
C F
Only shooting stars ...
G D Am C
Somebody once asked, "Could you spare some change for gas?
G D Am C
I need to get myself away from this place"
G D Am C
I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself
G D Am C
And we could all use a little change
G D
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Am C
Back to the rules and I hit the ground running
G D
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Am C
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
G D
So much to do so much to see
Am C
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
G D
You'll never know if you don't go (GO!)
Am C
You'll never shine if you don't glow
G5 C
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
G5 C
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
G5 C
(And all that glitters is gold)
C F C
Only shooting stars break the mold
