Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I'm through with [E]standing in line
to clubs I'll never get in
It's like the [A]bottom of the ninth
and I'm never gonna win
This [D]life hasn't turned out
quite the way I want it to [E]be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a [E]brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a [A]bathroom I can play baseball in
And a [D]king size tub
big enough for ten plus [E]me
(Ah, so what you need?)
I'll need [E]a credit card that's got no limit
and a [A]big black jet with a bedroom in in it
Gonna [D]join the mile high club
at thirty-seven thousand fe[E]et
(Been there, done that)
I want a [E]new tour bus full of old guitars
My own [A]star on Hollywood Boulevard
[D]Somewhere between Cher and James Dean
is fine for [E]me
(So how you gonna do it?)

[Pre-chorus 1]
I'm gonna [G]trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even [A]cut my hair and change my name

[Chorus 1]
'Cause we [E]all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in [G]hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The [A]girls come easy
and the drugs come cheap
We'll [C]all stay skinny 'cause we [D]just won't eat
And [E]we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the [G]VIP with the movie stars
Every [A]good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every [C]Playboy bunny
in her [D]bleach blond hair, and [G]we'll
Hey, [A]hey, I wanna be a rock[E]star
[G]Hey, hey[A], I wanna wanna be a rocksta[E]r

[Verse 2]
I wanna be [E]great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire [A]eight body guards
that love to beat up assholes
Sign a [D]couple autographs
so I can eat my meals for [E]free
(I'll have the quesadilla)
I'm gonna [E]dress my my ass
with the latest latest fashion
Get a [A]front door key
to the Playboy mansion
Gonna [D]date a centerfold
that loves to blow my money for [E]me
(So how you gonna do it?)

[Pre-chorus 2]
I'm gonna [G]trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even [A]cut my hair and change my name

[Chorus 2]
'Cause we [E]all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in [G]hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The [A]girls come easy
and the drugs come cheap
We'll [C]all stay skinny 'cause we [D]just won't eat
And [E]we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the [G]VIP with the movie stars
Every [A]good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every [C]Playboy bunny in her [D]bleach blond hair,
And [E]we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the [G]latest dictionary and
today's who's who
They'll [A]get you anything with that evil smile
[C]Everybody's got a drug dealer
[D]on speed dial, [G]well
Hey, [A]hey, I wanna be a rock[E]star

[Bridge 1]
I'm gonna [C]sing those those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna [G]pop my pills From a Pez dispenser
Get [C]washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip [A]sync 'em every night
so I don't [D]get 'em wrong

[Chorus 3]
Well, we [E]all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in [G]hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The [A]girls come easy
and the drugs come cheap
We'll [C]all stay skinny 'cause we [D]just won't eat
And [E]we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the [G]VIP with the movie stars
Every [A]good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every [C]Playboy bunny in her [D]bleach blond hair,
And [E]we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the [G]latest dictionary and
today's who's who
They'll [A]get you anything with that evil smile
[C]Everybody's got a drug dealer
[D]on speed dial, [G]well
Hey, [A]hey, I wanna be a rock[E]star
[G]Hey, hey[A], I wanna be a rocksta[E]r
