Lyrics and chords of: To Be Someone (Didn't We Have A Nice Time?) by The Jam

A                                       Asus4
To be someone must be a wonderful thing

A
A famous footballer or rocksinger

      D          Bm        E                     A
Or a big filmstar, yes I think I would like that

A                                Asus4
To be rich and have lots of fans

A
Have lots of girls to prove that I'm a man

        D   Bm E                 A    E  A  E  A
And be No. 1 - and liked by everyone

A                                         Asus4
Getting drugged up with my trendy friends

A
They really dig me man, and I dig them

         D            Bm   E                   F#7
And the bread I spend - is like my fame - it's quickly diminished

        D                       A
There's no more swimming in a guitar shaped pool

D                        A
No more reporters at my back and call

D                          A
No more cocaine now, it's only ground chalk

D                         A
No more taxis now, we'll have to walk

      E               A
But didn't we have a nice time

  E               A
Didn't we have a nice time

      E               G
Oh, wasn't it such a fine time

A                                       Asus4
I realize should have stuck to my guns

A
Instead shit out be one of the bastard sons

     D          Bm  E                            F#7
And lose myself - I know it was wrong - but it's cost me a lot

            D                          A
And there's no more drinking when the club shuts down

     D                       A
I'm out on my arse with the rest of the clowns

D                                 A
It's really frightening without a bodyguard

D                         A
So I stay confined to my lonely room

      E               A
But didn't we have a nice time

  E               A
Didn't we have a nice time

      E               G
Oh, wasn't it such a fine time

A                                       Asus4  A
To be someone must be a wonderful thing
