Rockstar - Nickelback chords
Start Jamming...
[G] I'm through with standing in line, the clubs I'll never get in
[C] It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win [F] this
Life hasn't turned out quite the way I want [G] it to be
Tell me what you want
I want a brand new house on an episode of [C] Crimson
A bathroom I can play baseball in
[F] And a king-sized tub big enough for ten [G] plus me
So what you need?
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
[C] And a big black gym with a bedroom in [F] it
Gonna join the mile-high club at thirty-seven [G] thousand feet
Men, I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
[C] And find a star on Hollywood Boulevard
[F] Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine [G] for me
So how you gonna do it?
[Bb] I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
[C] I'll even cut my hair and change my [G] name
Cause we are just a world made of big rock stars
[Bb] And living hilltop bosses driving fifteen [C] cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come [Eb] cheap
Well, I'll stay skinny [F] cause we just won't eat
And [G] we'll hang out in the coolest [Bb] bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
[C] Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
[Eb] Every playboy funny [F] with a bleach blonde [Bb] hair
And well, hey, [C] hey, I wanna be [G] a rock star
[Bb] Hey, [C] hey, I wanna be [G] a rock star
I wanna be great like Elvis without the [C] tassels
I ain't ready, but I got the love to beat up bastards
[F] I'm gonna cut a lot of grass so I can eat my meals [G] for free
I have the kiss of Dio
I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion
[C] Get a front door key to the playboy mansion
[F] Gonna pay the centerfold in lust to blow my money [G] for me
So how you gonna do it?
I'm gonna [Bb] trade this life for fortune and fame
[C] I'll even cut my hair and change my [G] name
Cause we are just a world made of big rock stars
And living [Bb] hilltop bosses driving fifteen cars
[C] The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
[Eb] Well, I'll stay skinny [F] cause we just won't [G] eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
[Bb] In the VIP with the movie stars
[C] Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
[Eb] Every playboy funny [F] with a bleach blonde [Bb] hair
And [G] we'll part out in the private rooms
[Bb] With the latest dictionary of today's zoo zoo
[C] They'll get you anything with that evil [Eb] smile
Everybody's got a drug [F] dealer on speed [Bb] now
Well, hey, [C]
I wanna be [G] a rock star
We're [Eb] gonna sing those songs that offend the sense
[Bb] Gonna bob my pills from a past defense
[Eb] And get washed up singers writing all my songs
[C] Lip sync them every night [F] so I don't get them wrong
[G] Well, we all just wanna be big rock stars
[Bb] And living hilltop bosses driving fifteen [C] cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
[Eb] Well, I'll stay skinny [F] cause we just won't [G] eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest [Bb] bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
