Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A](Dream on, dream on [D]teenage [A]queen
[D]prettiest [A]girl we've [E]ever [A]seen)

[Verse 1]
There's a [A]story [D]in our [A]town
Of the prettiest [E]girl a[A]round
Golden hair and [D]eyes of [A]blue
How those eyes could [E]flash at [A]you
(How those eyes could [E]flash at [A]you)

[Chorus 1]
[D]Boys hung 'round her [A]by the score
But she loved the [E]boy next [A]door
who worked at the [E]candy [A]store
(Dream on, dream on [D]teenage [A]queen
[D]prettiest [A]girl we've [E]ever [A]seen)

[Verse 2]
She was [A]tops in [D]all they [A]said
It never once went [E]to her [A]head
She had every[D]thing it [A]seemed
Not a care, this [E]teenage [A]queen
(Not a care, this [E]teenage [A]queen)

[Chorus 2]
[D]Other boys could [A]offer more
But she loved the [E]boy next [A]door
who worked at the [E]candy [A]store
(Dream on, dream on [D]teenage [A]queen
[D]you should [A]be a [E]movie [A]queen)

[Verse 3]
He would [A]marry [D]her next [A]spring
Saved his money, [E]bought a [A]ring
Then one day a [D]movie [A]scout
Came to town to [E]take her [A]out
(Came to town to [E]take her [A]out)

[Chorus 3]
[D]Hollywood could [A]offer more
So she left the [E]boy next [A]door
working at [E]candy [A]store
(Dream on, dream on [D]teenage [A]queen
[D]see you [A]on the [E]movie [A]screen)

[Verse 4]
Very [A]soon she [D]was a [A]star
Pretty house and [E]shiny [A]car
Swimming pool and a [D]fence [A]around
But she missed her [E]old home [A]town
(But she missed her [E]old home [A]town)

[Chorus 4]
[D]All the world was [A]at her door
All except the [E]boy next [A]door
who worked at the [E]candy [A]store
(Dream on, dream on [D]teenage [A]queen
[D]saddest [A]girl we've [E]ever [A]seen)

[Verse 5]
Then one [A]day the [D]teenage [A]star
Sold her house and [E]all her [A]cars
Gave up all her [D]wealth and [A]fame
Left it all and [E]caught a [A]train
(left it all and [E]caught a [A]train)

[Chorus 5]
[D]Do I have to [A]tell you more
She came back to the [E]boy next [A]door
who worked at the [E]candy [A]store
(Now this story [D]has some [A]more,
you'll [D]hear it [A]all at the [E]candy [A]store)
