Chords

You can customize your own strum pattern, but I like to use power strums pulling downward so it's loud and bass heavy. Whatever you prefer though. N.C. means "no chord" [Chorus]
Am                    E5
I just bought a brand new red guitar

                            Dm
With six gold strings and a Whammy bar

          Am               E5
If I play real good, it'll take me far

                           Dm   Am
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar

Am                        E
I just bought a brand new red guitar

     F                      Dm
With six gold strings and a Whammy bar

     Am                    E
If I play real good, it'll take me far

     F                      Dm
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
[Verse 1] What's up?
Am
 I'm Awsten

    E
And I'm f**king exhausted

    F
The meter is running

      Dm
Can't imagine what it's costing

   Am                       E
To keep up these superhuman levels of delusion

         F
That all eyes are on me

     Dm
They tune in like Truman

    Am                   E
But really the truth is reality's ruthless

   F                    Fm
So hard to remember why I even do this

   Am
Oh yeah

             E
The delusion I've had since I was thirteen

     F                               Dm                    Am    E
That I could write a song and they'd put me on a magazine

      F                             Dm           Am    E
Where none of y'all could ever ever hurt me, no

      F                      Dm
Where none of you could ever hurt me
'Cause [Chorus]
Am                        E
I just bought a brand new red guitar

     F                      Dm
With six gold strings and a Whammy bar

     Am                    E
If I play real good, it'll take me far

     F                     Dm
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
[Verse 2]
           Am               E
If I could check back in on me as a kid

F                         D
Be a crystal ball, he can see how he did

Am                        E
Knowing what I know and remembering him

      F                          D
It'll probably go something like this:

           Am
"How's the future?"
N.C. Woah
        E
"Are we famous?"
N.C. No N.C. "Oh... N.C. Well... N.C. What's it like though?"
           Am                    E
Well, your life is a circus that makes you feel worthless

    F                          Dm
The ones you love most are the ones who get hurt
N.C. It's a- "Wait! Is this worth it?" It's our purpose. Woah [Chorus]
Am                        E
I just bought a brand new red guitar

     F                      Dm
With six gold strings and a Whammy bar

     Am                    E
If I play real good, it'll take me far

     F                     N.C.
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
[Bridge] Am E F Dm Am E F Dm C Am E
      F                             Dm           Am    E
Where none of y'all could ever ever hurt me, no

      F                           Dm
Where none of you could ever ever hurt me
N.C. Woah [Chorus]
Am                        E

Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar

Am                        E
I just bought a brand new red guitar

     F                    Dm
With six gold rings and a whammy bar

     Am                    E
If I play real good, it'll take me far

     F
Mama said, mama said I'm a superstar
