Intro
G Gb Bm x4
Bm A
When I was young and stupid my love
G D Em
Left to be a rock and roll star
Bm A
He told me please don't worry
G D Em
Wise little smile that spoke so safely
Bm A
He booked a one way ticket
G D Em
Out west that's where they'd make it
Bm A
Six kids stuck in a bedsit
G D Em
To sunswept poolside riches
Bm A
He met a girl who wore Versace
G D Em
Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery
Bm A
Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
G D Em
He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwon
Bm A
He's got a gold Camaro
G D Em
He said over the payphone
Bm A
I try to keep my cool but
G D Em
My life turns in slow motion
Chorus
G Gb
Bye bye baby blue
Bm
I wish you could see the wicked truth
A G Gb
Caught up in a rush it's killing you
Bm
Screaming at the sun you blow into
A G Gb
Curled up in a grip when we were us
Bm
Fingers in a fist like you might run
A G Gb
I settle for a ghost I never knew
Bm
Superparadise I held on to
A G
But I settle for a ghost
Gb G Gb
Bm A
Where I was from NOLA no one
G D Em
Left to be a rock and roll star
Bm A
He'd stay and treat his lady
G D Em
Give everything to his new baby
Bm A
I miss him don't you blame me
G D Em
That boy went stone cold crazy
Bm A
Caught up in camera lust he's
G D Em
Chasing that pappy pipe dreams
Gb G Em x2
Gb
I know you don't but I
G
I know you don't but I still try
Gb
My thunder shook him down
G Bm Gb G
My thunder came and shook him down
D
That girl is gone but I
Gb G
That girl is gone but I still try
A
I think it's over now
Gb
The bullet hit but maybe not
G A
I feel so fucking numb
Gb G
It hits my head and I feel numb
A
My body's looking wrong
Gb
My body's looking wrong
My body's looking wrong
G Gb
Bye bye baby blue
Bm
I wish you could see the wicked truth
A G Gb
Caught up in a rush it's killing you
Bm
Screaming at the sun you blow into
A G Gb
Curled up in a grip when we were us
Bm
Fingers in a fist like you might run
A G Gb
I settle for a ghost I never knew
Bm
Superparadise I held on to
A G
But I settle for a ghost
Gb Bm A G x4
