(G)Did n’t make sense not to (D)live for fun; your (Am)brain gets smart, but your (C)head gets dumb.

(G)So much to do, so much to see, so what’s (Am)wrong with tak in’ the (C)back streets?

You’ll (G)nev er know if you don’t (D)go.

You’ll (Am)nev er shine if you don’t (C)glow.

(G)Hey now, you’re an (C)all star; get your (C#)game on, go play.

(G)Hey now, you’re a (C)rock star; get the (C#)show on, get paid.

And (G)all that (C)glit ters is gold.

It’s a (G)cool place and they (D)say it gets cold er.

You’re (Am)bun dled up now; wait (C)till you get old er.

But the (G)me te or men beg to (D)dif fer, judg ing by the (Am)hole in the sat el lite (C)pic ture.

The ice we (G)skate is get tin’ pret ty (D)thin.

The wa ter’s get tin’ (Am)warm, so you might as well (C)swim.

My world’s on (G)fi re; how ’bout (D)yours?

(G)Hey now, you’re an (C)all star; get your (C#)game on, go play.

(G)Hey now, you’re a (C)rock star; get the (C#)show on, get paid.

And (G)all that (C)glit ters is gold.

(C)On ly shoot in’ (F)stars...

Some (D)bod y once asked could I spare some change for gas, “I need to (D)get my self a way from this place.”

I said, (G)“Yep, what a con (D)cept!

I could (C)use a lit tle fuel my self and we could (D)all use a lit tle change.”
