Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

G D

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me

Am C

I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed

G D

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb

Am C

In the shape of an “L” on her forehead

Pre-Chorus

G D

Well, the years start coming and they don’t stop coming

Am C

Fed 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

G D Am C

Hey now, you’re an all star, get your game on, go play

G D Am C

Hey now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid

G D Am C

And all that glitters is gold

G D Am C

Only shooting stars break the mold

Verse 2

G D

It’s a cool place and they say it gets colder

Am C

You’re bundled up now, wait till you get older

G D

But the meteor 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 water’s 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

Chorus

G D Am C

Hey now, you’re an all star, get your game on, go play

G D Am C

Hey now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid

G D Am C

And all that glitters is gold

G D Am C

Only shooting stars break the mold

Verse 3

G D

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas

Am C

”I need to get myself away from this place”

G

I said, “Yep, what a concept

D

I could use a little fuel myself

Am C

And we could all use a little change”

Final Chorus

G D Am C

Hey now, you’re an all star, get your game on, go play

G D Am C

Hey now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid

G D Am C

And all that glitters is gold

G D Am C

Only shooting stars break the mold

G D Am C

And all that glitters is gold

G D Am C

Only shooting stars break the mold
