I'm through with standing in line to pubs I'll never get in

It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win

  F                              G
Life hasn't turned out quite the way
N.C. I want it to be (tell me what you want)
               G
I want a huge sail that'll hold the squalls

           C
And a big black ship with some cannonballs

F                             G
Don't wanna join Davy Jones twenty thousand
N.C Leagues under the sea (so how you gonna do it?) [Pre-Chorus]

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

    Eb                        F
We all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

                G
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

            Bb
In the VIP's with the movie stars

        C
Every good gold digger is gonna wind up there

      Eb                     F
Every Playboy Bunny with her bleached blonde hair

         G
And we'll hide out in the private rooms

           Bb
With the latest dictionary and today's who's who

         C
They'll get you anything with that evil smile

     Eb                F
Everybody's got a rum dealer on speed dial

Singing those songs that offend the censors

   F                        G
Popping my pills from a Pez dispenser
N.C. (rockstars don't do mornings)

Get washed up sailors writing all our songs

               C
Get washed up sailors writing all our songs

F                        G
Lipsync them every night so I don't get them wrong
N.C. We'll sing them dusk till morning, we [Chorus]
