Am
Doesn't have a problem with drugs
Dm
He just doesn't do them
G
He's fine that his mates have tattoos
Am
But he reckon's they'll rue them
Dm G
And all he's ever wanted to be
C G/B Am C/G
Is a rock star on RAGE or MTV
Dm G
But he knows that it's not very likely
E
Now that he's thirty he knows that
E Am
He will always be
G
A rock'n'roll nerd
C G/B
He'll keep writing songs the world will never hear
Am C/G
And though the won't be heard
Dm/F E (or minor - not sure)
He'll keep on writing oh yeah
D Gm
But you see the problem is
C7 F
He always thought he'd be a star
Bb Eb
But he learnt piano instead of guitar
D Gm
Which in the nineties didn't get you very far
C7 F
So while the other kids were learning Stairway
Bb Eb
He was the piano to their forte
D
But he was convinced one day
Eb
He'd rock their fucking arses
D Eb
Or be an icon for the disenfranchised masses
D Eb
Grow his hair long and rebel against the state
Emb F
But for now that'd have to wait
D/F# G
Cause he's running late for his morning classes
Cm
While his mates all stay out late
Eb F
Popping pills and havin fun
Cm
He stays home and showers
And gets a good eight hours
Eb F
He gets his thrills from his morning run
Cm
While his mates all go on dates
Eb F
Taking speed and drinking cans of Beam
Cm
He stays home and cooks
And curls up with a book
Eb F
And the girl he's had since he was seventeen
Gm
Cause he's never really been part of the scene
Bb
While the other kids liked Gunners he liked Queen
C7
He's more into Beatles that the Stones
Eb F
He's more Stevie Wonder than Ramones
Gm
He never owned a panel van
Bb
He never shot a Sepultura fan
C7
He doesn't know the difference between metal and thrash
Eb F
He couldn't tell you nothing about Axl and Slash
Gm
He likes Ben Folds and The Jackson Five
Bb
He knows all the words to Stayin' Alive
C7
And although he wants to be all grungy and cool
Eb F
He spent eleven years in a private school
Gm
So it doesn't matter how hard he tries
Bb
He cannot hide behind his rock'n'roll lies
C7
Cause you've either got it or you don't
Eb F
Yeah you'll either rock it or you won't
Gm
You've either got it or you don't
Bb
Yeah you'll either rock it or you wont
C7/// Eb// F// D/Gb// E/Ab//
F G
You can criticise him and he won't care
F C/E D
Cause he wants to rock and he will never be deterred
F/G C
He'll always be a fucked-up little tryhard wannabe rock'n'roll nerd
