Lyrics and Chords


[ C#dim7 = xx2323 ]

[Capo -1]
 
   Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
   I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
   She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her
   Thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead
 
/ G D Am C / / / /

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Back to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
 
/ G D / Am C / :

So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
 
{Refrain}
Hey now you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid
[And] All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
 
/ G C C#dim7 C / / / G F C - /
 
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the media men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
 
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
 
{Refrain}
 
{instrumental verse}
 
{Refrain, ending with}
Only shooting stars...
 
   Somebody once asked, could you spare some change for gas
   I need to get myself away from this place
   I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself
   And we could all use a little change
 
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Back to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
 
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go (go!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow
 
{Refrain}
 
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
