Verse:
E
I never was a cool kid
No one ever really gave a damn what I did
I liked to party but I never got invited
Alone again so me, myself and I
Tried karaoke but they told me I was only OK
I guess I never shoulda sang Beyonce
uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
so I dropped the Mic
Bridge:
B A B
Oh yeah all the people in the bar turned round and stared
A B
I was on my knees and whipping round my hair
A
and I knew that I was winning
Chorus:
E
Close my eyes and see the crowd
B (one strum)/A
but my fingers don''''t make any sound

Verse:
E
In my head I am a Rockstar and I probably date a Pop Star
a Pop Star and a model on the side
I know I''''ll never make it
but tonight I''''m good enough to fake it
bend an imaginary string and break it,
replace it in the backstage of my mind
Bridge:
B A B
But I know my friends all think I''''m living such a lie
A B
but the lie they think I''''m living gets me high
A
it''''s the gift that keeps on giving
