Am-G-F
              Am           
Well there's slim times when my words won't rhyme
        G                  F
And the hills I face are a long hard climb
G                                   C
I just sit cross legged with my old guitar
   Am                Am/G                     F7
It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star

        Am
Well it makes me laugh Lord it makes me cry
      G                              F
And I think for once let me just get high
G                                   C
Let me get electric put a silk suit on
Am            Am/G              F
Turn my old guitar into a tommy gun

    D 
And root-toot-shoot myself to fame
      Am                               
Every kid alive gonna know my name
   D             E7                        F
An overnight phenomenon like there's never been
F                      G           A
A motivated supersonic king of the scene

     Dm           G      Dm            G
I'll be a teenage idol, just give me a break
          C            Am      Dm                 G
I'm gonna be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes
    Dm                             G
You can't imagine what it means to me
    Dm                  G             A7
I'm gonna grab myself a place in history

  F               G#                     E7    Am      G   F
A teenage idol           that's what I'm gonna be

     Am
Well life is short and the world is rough
    G                              F
And if you're gonna boogie boy you got to be tough
G                               C
Nobody knows if I'm dead or alive
Am             Am/G                F
I just drink myself to sleep each night

         Am
And so I pray to the teenage god of rock
     G                          F
If I make it big let me stay on top
G                                          C
You got to cut me loose from this one room dive
Am           Am/G                   F
Put me on the ladder keep this boy alive
