         Em                            A
From my room, I see the blue Pacific Ocean

         F                              G   G Bm
Yes, my hotel has me right beside the shore

         Em               G
Well, today it's San Francisco

       A
And tomorrow it's L.A.

       F                                   G   G
And I feel as though I've been this way before
VERSE:
        Em                              A
Well my woman helps my feet to keep on walkin'

        F                                   G   G
But my manager he stands right outside the door

Bm              Em
Yes, there's an up 'n' comin' superstar

          A
And he's gettin' rave revues

           F                            C   C
But there ain't no time for fishin' anymore
CHORUS:
C                                  Em
 I never thought that things would go this far

C                                Em
 I never thought that life would be this way

C                          Em
 I never thought I'd be a superstar

     Dm
And Jesus Christ

   Em
I wish that I

     F
Was back in Oyster Bay

           F   Bb     F     C  F  C  F  B
Takin' it easy... Oh yeah...
VERSE:
B              Em                                    A
  But there's lots of friendly folks that say "good morning"

         F                                        G    G Bm
But somehow you know I just don't believe their smiles

       Em
I'd be New York City bound

              A
Where I could be among my friends

         F                                 G    G
But the road back home it seems a million miles
VERSE:
      Em                             A
I can see the lights of Hollywood below me

         F                                      G    G
But somehow they just don't move me like they should

   Bm        Em
I know it's hard to understand

            A
But I would be a fisherman

     F
If I only had the chance,

             C   C
You know I would
CHORUS:
C                                  Em
 I never thought that things would go this far

C                             Em
 I never thought that I'd be here today

C                          Em
 I never thought I'd be a superstar

         Dm
Oh, and Jesus Christ

   Em
I wish that I
