Intro:
F# B Abm C# x2


            F#
I'm working 9 to 5 
              B
It's like I'm buried alive 
           Abm                     C#
My boss is always on my case and I hate him 


           F#
He's got a Mercedes Benz, 
            B
With really lame ass rims 
        Abm                   C#
And I'm stuck at the bus stop waiting! 

    F#             B       Abm       C#
His girlfriend is 18, and my girl dumped me 
          F#         B                         Abm
She said 'You can't afford me' and went for the money, the money, money, money, 

CHORUS: 
               F#            B
I wish I was a Rock Star, (Oh Oh) 
                  Abm           C#
Breaking all the girls hearts (Oh Oh) 
               F#        B
If I was Eddie Vedder (Oh Oh) 
                    Abm      C#
I bet you'd like me better (Oh Oh) 
      F#                           B
Doing shots of Petrone, With P!nk and Emma Stone 
        Abm                          C#
And the paparazzi stalk us when they carry me home 
  Eb               C#                 B
I wish I'd learnt to play the damn guitar 
               F#         B  Abm  C#
I wish I was a Rock Star (whistle) 
               F#         B  Abm  C
I wish I was a Rock Star (whistle) 



(The chords are the same for the rest of the song)



VERSE 2 
When I got home, it went from bad to worse, 
My roomie sold my x-box for a six pack 
I wanna kick his ass and get all my cash back, 
But he's six foot four and a douchebag 
So I'm heading to LA, with the guitar I can't play, 
Hoping to someday make a lot of money, money, money, money. 

CHORUS: 
I wish I was a Rock Star, (Oh Oh) 
Breaking all the girls hearts (Oh Oh) 
If I was Eddie Vedder (Oh Oh) 
I bet you'd like me better (Oh Oh) 
Doing shots of Patron, 
With P! nk and Emma Stone 
And the paparazzi stalk us when they carry me home 
I wish I'd learnt to play the damn guitar 

I wish I was a Rock Star (whistle) 
I wish I was a Rock Star (whistle) 

I learnt a couple of chords and kept the verses short, 
It was sad but now it's kinda funny, 
I wrote a catchy song that went to number 1, 
About a girl that left me for the money. 

CHORUS: 
Now I am a Rock Star, (Oh Oh) 
Breaking all the girls hearts (Oh Oh) 
Hanging out with Vedder (Oh Oh) 
I bet you like me better (Oh Oh) 
Doing shots of Patron, 
With P! nk and Emma Stone 
I bet that you wish that you could carry me home 

Thank God I learnt to play the damn guitar 
And I thank you for the way you broke my heart 

Cos now I am a Rock Star 
I am a Rock star 
I'm a Rock Star!
