_ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Am] So [F] you wanna be a rock and roll [Dm] star, well listen [G] now to what [Am] I say.
[F] Just get an electric [G] guitar and take some time, [Am] learn how to play.
[F] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Am] Lost down [F] at the New Amsterdam [Dm] _
[G] staring at this yellow haired [Am] girl.
This gentleman's tracked up a [F] conversation [G] with his black hair.
The main core [Am] dancer, she dances [F] while kissed by the blade [D] guitar.
[G] She said it'd be beautiful, [Am] and we all want [F] something beautiful.
[G] Hey man, I wish I was beautiful, [Am] but dancing's [F] silent, dancing's the [Dm] morning.
[G] Sha-la-la [Am]-la, yeah, [F] oh [G] yeah.
_ _ [Am] Cut [F] Maria, [Dm] show me [G] some of them Spanish dances.
[Am] Pass [F] me a bottle, Mr.
[G] Joe. _
_ _ [Am] Baby, [F] believe in me.
[D] Help me [G] believe in anything.
[Am] You don't wanna be [F] someone who [G] believes. _
Yeah.
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] Touch a fairy tale, [C] and we stare through [F] beautiful women.
[G] She's looking at you, oh no no no.
[C] Looking at me standing [F] in that bright [G] light.
Coming through in stereo.
[C] Cause when everybody [F] loves me, [G] but you, you should never be lonely.
I [Am] can paint myself a [F] picture.
I can paint [Dm] myself in blue, in red, [G] in black, and oh,
[Am] all the [F] beautiful colors are very, very, [G] very, very beautiful.
You know, [Am] gray, that's my favorite [F] color.
[Dm] I get so [G] confused every [Am] day.
If I knew [F] how so high, [G] I would fly myself.
I'm ready to start a [C] play.
Mr.
[F] Joe, hold on to [G] me.
Look into the future.
[C] To all the [F] beautiful women.
[G] She's looking at you.
I don't know what's up.
[C] Looking at me standing [F] in that spotlight.
_ [G] I got myself a guitar.
[C] When everybody loves [F] me, everybody,
[G] I will never, never, never be [Am] lonely.
Yeah, I [F] _ _
[Am] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] want to be a lion.
_ _ [F] _
Everybody wants to surpass his [Am] cast.
They want to be big stars.
But honestly, [G] we get a little bit fucked up about that.
[Am] But believe in me.
Even though I [F] do not believe in [D] anything.
[Am] Cause you know, I just might be someone to [G] believe.
So come on children.
Believe in me.
[C] It's [F] Joe that means the [G] stuff that's in my body.
To [C] all the [F] beautiful women.
She's [G] perfect for you.
There's got to be [C] a girl for me.
I don't want to be [F] popular.
[G] Here's a girl who's a little more popular.
[C] Everybody [F] loves you, son.
I [G] think it's just about as fucking funny as it [C] may be.
Mr.
[F] Jones and me.
[G] Staring at the video.
[C] When I look at my television.
I want to [G] see me.
Staring right back at [C] me.
I want to be [F] a big star.
We [G] don't know why.
And we don't know how.
But [C] when everybody loves me,
I [G] want to be just about as happy as I can [C] be.
Mr.
[F] Jones and me.
[G] _ [G] We're gonna be big stars. _ _
