[VERSE]
                   E
I'm through with standing in line to clubs we'll never get in,
            A
It's like bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win,
       D                                               E
This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be.
 
(Tell me what ya want)
 
           E
I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs,
       A
And a bathroom I can play baseball in,
       D                                    E
And a king size tub big enough for ten plus me.
 
(Tell me what you need)
 
              E
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit,
      A
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it,
        D                                                E
Gonna join the mile-high club at thirty-seven thousand feet.
 
(Been there done that)
 
          E
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars,
         A
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard,
        D                                          E
Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me.
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
             G
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame,
          A
I'd even cut my hair and change my name.
 
 
[CHORUS]
           E
'Cause we all just want to be big Rockstars,
              G
And live in Hilltop Houses driven fifteen cars,
      A
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap,
       C                                   D
We'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat,
            E
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars,
        G
In the VIP with the movie stars,
        A
Every good gold diggers gonna wind up there.
   C                            D
Every playboy bunny with her bleach blonde hair,
G      A                   E

   D                                                E
Sign a couple autographs so I can eat my meals for free
 
(I'll have a quesadilla haha)
 
            E
I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion,
        A
Get a front door key to the Playboy Mansion,
        D                                              E

@harpuabill - yes you're right, G A E is correct. Not sure why I tabbed it G D A. @DonConstantino - not sure if you're serious, but quesadilla is a mexican food dish typically consisting of meat, cheese, tomatoes between two flour tortillas. It's tasty as hell too
