[Verse]
D A Em G
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
D A Em G
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
D A Em G
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
D A Em G
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
D A
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Em G
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
D A
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Em G
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
D A
So much to do, so much to see
Em G
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
D A
You'll never know if you don't go
Em G
You'll never shine if you don't glow
[Chorus]
D G G#(b5) G
Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
D G G#(b5) G
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid
D G G#(b5)
And all that glitters is gold
G D C G
Only shooting stars break the mold
[Verse]
D A
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
Em G
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
D A
But the meteor men beg to differ
Em G
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
D A
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
Em G
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
D A
My world's on fire, how about yours
Em G
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
[Chorus]
D G G#(b5) G
Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
D G G#(b5) G
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid
D G G#(b5)
All that glitters is gold
G D C G
Only shooting stars break the mold

D A Em G
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
D A Em G
I need to get myself away from this place
D A
I said yep, what a concept
Em G
I could use a little fuel myself
D A Em
And we could all use a little change
D G
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
