[Verse]
G
I pull out of the driveway
F
and head out on the highway
C
and I can see them in my rearview mirror
hanging out the window
           A
snappin' a shot of me
G
So I pull into the fast lane
F
Nobody's gettin' past me
C
and I can hear the helicopters coming
                  A
Drivin' down the street is such a pain in
the ass for me

[Chorus]
        G
And God I wanna know why
C
whoever said it was painless
F
Should try and be famous
D
You know Im just livin life
                  Am
but nothings for free
G
Lets see what they say first
C                 F
Front page of the papers
D                 Am
Some days I find that even I

G
Dont wanna be me
F
Just tryin to be me
C
Why dont they leave me the hell alone

G
So Im hanging out on Melrose
F
Watchin' all the girls go by
C
Then a hottie spots me
Sippin' on tequilla
         A
So happy to be alone
G
No need to call the paparatzi
F
Cause they already got me
C
Everybody's got a cell phone camera
                   A
Walking down the street is such a
pain in the ass for me

[CHORUS]
        G
And God I wanna know why
C
Whoever said it was painless
F
Should try and be famous
D
You know Im just livin life
                  Am
but nothings for free
G
Lets see what they say first
C                 F
Front page of the papers
D                 Am
Some days I find that even I

G
Dont wanna be me
F
Just tryin to be me
C
Why dont they leave me the hell alone

G
And Im just tryin to be me
F
And Im just tryin to be me

[Chorus]
