All of the other tabs for this song only included the basic power chords
when they really play whole chords, and none of the others had the solo...so

Lyrics
You met in work, you should've known better
It's gonna suck when the camera stops rolling
And you'll find out soon that the treatment wasn't worth it
They're all the same, they all want the money
They're all insane, they live for fame, honey
They laugh at you when you're not even being funny
Well, I've been here before
And I've seen firsthand and front row seat
This little thing they call a video girl
Video girl rocked my world for a whole two seconds
And now I know I'm not about to be another victim
Get out of my face, get out of my space
Get some class and kiss the past
'Cause I'm not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome
You know it's bad when your mama doesn't like her
All your friends sayin' she's a liar
Never ending phone calls aren't enough
It's not enough, it's never enough
Move to LA, got no talent
Not even like you won a Miss Teen pageant
Daddy pays your bills but you still whine
Well, I've been here before
And I've seen firsthand and front row seat
What happens to a man when he gets in the hands of a
Video girl rocked my world for a whole two seconds
And now I know I'm not about to be another victim
Get out of my face, get out of my space
Get some class and kiss the past
'Cause I'm not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome
You are never gonna see me miss her
Video girl syndrome
I'm not gonna be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome
Video girl rocked my world for a whole two seconds
And now I know I'm not about to be another victim
Get out of my face, get out of my space
Get some class and kiss the past
I'm not about to be another victim
Of the video girl syndrome
I won't be a victim
Of the video girl syndrome
