Capo on 2nd (original key)
[Intro]
G C D G C D G
[Verse]
G C/G G
I was just a boy when the river ran dry
F D
And I can still remember my mama cry
G C/G G
She said "Son leave as fast as you can
C D
But don't waste your life in this rock 'n' roll band"
G C/G
I saw the light and left as fast as I could
F D
I knew deep down it was gonna do me good
G C/G G
So I threw my Fender in an old friend's car
C D G C D G C D G
I knew I'd come home - a rock n'roll star
[Verse]
G C/G G
So we hit the road but the road hit back
F D
We thought we'd take the world with a hit and run attack
G C/G G
Now I'm center stage - but it feels bizarre
C D
Despite new cars and caviar
G C/G G
An overnight success - created by the press
F D
But they'll eat you up if you show them any stress
G C/G G
So I lick my wounds - and I hide my scars
C D G
The whole world thinks I'm a rock n' roll star
[Chorus]
Em D C G
Rock 'n' roll star ---- rock 'n' roll star
Em D Gb G C D
That's what they call you - That's not what you are
C Em C G
Rock 'n' roll star ---- rock 'n' roll star
C G D
I still wanna be - I still wanna be - I still wanna be
G C D C D G C D G C D G
A rock 'n' roll star
[Verse]
G C/G G
So we got a break in our whirlwind tour
F D
I called home said I'm comin home for sure
G C/G G
I'm tired of hurry up, make the plane, jump in the car
C D G
I'm home on loan - I'm a rock 'n' roll star
[Chorus]
Em D C G
Rock 'n' roll star ---- rock 'n' roll star
Em D Gb G C D
That's what they call you - That's not what you are
C Em C G
Rock 'n' roll star ---- rock 'n' roll star
C G D
I still wanna be - I still wanna be - I still wanna be
G C D C D G C D G C D G
A rock 'n' roll star
[Outro]
C G D
I still wanna be - I still wanna be - I still wanna be
Em C G D
I still wanna be - I still wanna be - I still wanna be
G C D C D G C D G C D G
A rock 'n' roll star
