Tuning: Standard, EADG


I submitted this before when i wasnt a member, and i thought i better do the hole song
as i didnt no all of it last time. 

The singing goes at dodgy timin to th bass line so listen to the song if you wanna get
the timing good. the guitar the goes with it may help you to sing ti but u hear the
bass quite alot so if you play and sing at the same this one is quite hard to do.


Intro
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------| Repeat twice thn the vocals come in
A|-5----4-5-7---2-3-5--|
E|----3-------5--------|

Repeat this once per each line of verse 
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-5----4-5-7---2-3-5--|
E|----3-------5--------|

in the first verse there are 4 lines so play it 4 times.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-5----4-5-7---2-3-5--|
E|----3-------5--------|

in the second verse there are 4 lines too, so again play 4 times.

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Back to the rule and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-5----4-5-7---2-3-5--|
E|----3-------5--------|

in the thind verse there are 4 verses aswell, so play 4 times.

So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-5----4-5-7---2-3-5--|
E|----3-------5--------|

The chorus is different
This is the Chorus

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
G|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|---5---3---5---3---5---3---5---3-----|
E|-3---5---3---5---3---5---3---5-------|

in verse 4 there are 4 lines

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-5----4-5-7---2-3-5--|
E|----3-------5--------|

in verse 5 there are 4 lines too.

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-5----4-5-7---2-3-5--|
E|----3-------5--------|


then its the chorus but u gotta play it TWICE!

then its the long verse, play the verse tabs 13 times non stop.

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Back to the rule and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|-5----4-5-7---2-3-5--|
E|----3-------5--------|

then play the chorus once more...

G|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|---5---3---5---3---5---3---5---3-----|
E|-3---5---3---5---3---5---3---5-------|
