Am7
Well there's slim times when my words won't rhyme
C F
And the hills I face are a long hard climb
G C F C
I just sit cross legged with my old guitar
Am G F7
It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star
Am7
Well it makes me laugh Lord it makes me cry
C F
And I think for once let me just get high
G C F C
Let me get electric put a silk suit on
Am G F7
Turn my old guitar into a tommy gun
D
And root-toot-shoot myself to fame
Am7
Every kid alive gonna know my name
D7 E7 F7
An overnight phenomenon like there's never been
F7 G7 A
A motivated supersonic king of the scene
Dm G Dm G
I'll be a teenage idol, just give me a break
Cmaj7 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 Ab E7 Am G F
A teenage idol that's what I'm gonna be
Am
Well life is short and the world is rough
C F
And if you're gonna boogie boy you got to be tough
G C F C
Nobody knows if I'm dead or alive
Am G F7
I just drink myself to sleep each night
Am
And so I pray to the teenage god of rock
C F
If I make it big let me stay on top
G C F C
You got to cut me loose from this one room dive
Am G F7
Put me on the ladder keep this boy alive
Im Going To Be A Teenage Idol chords
