Key: D
Introduction: G F# Bm A G F# Bm A
Bm A
When I was young and stupid my love
G D
Left to be a rock and roll star
Bm A
He told me please don't worry
G D
Wise little smile that spoke so safely
Bm A
He booked a one way ticket
G D
Out west that's where they make it
Bm A
Six kids stuck in a bedsit
G D
To sunswept poolside riches
Bm A
He met a girl who wore Versace
G D
Pink feather coats and jumbo jewelry
Bm A
Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
G D
He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwan
Bm A
He's got a gold Camaro
G D
He said over the payphone
Bm A
I try to keep my cool but
G D
My life turns in slow motion
G F#
Bye bye baby blue
Bm A
I wish you could see the wicked truth
G F#
Caught up in a rush it's killing you
Bm A
Screaming at the sun you blow into
G F#
Curled up in a grip when we were us
Bm A
Fingers in a fist like you might run
G F#
I settle for a ghost I never knew
Bm A
Super paradise I held on to
G
But I settle for a ghost
Bm A
When I was from n.o.l.a no one
G D
Left to be a rock and roll star
Bm A
He'd stay and treat his lady
G D
Give everything to his new baby
Bm A
I miss him don't you blame me
G D
That boy went stone cold crazy
Bm A
Caught up in camera lust he's
G D
Chasing that pappy pipe dreams
F#
I know you don't but I
G F#
I know you don't but I still try
My thunder shook him down
G Bm
My thunder came and shook him down
That girl is gone but I
F# G
That girl is gone but I still try
I think it's over now
F# Bm
The bullet hit but maybe not
I feel so fucking numb
F# G
It hits my head and I feel numb
My body's looking wrong
F#
My body's looking wrong
My body's looking wrong
G F#
Bye bye baby blue
Bm A
I wish you could see the wicked truth
G F#
Caught up in a rush it's killing you
Bm A
Screaming at the sun you blow into
G F#
Curled up in a grip when we were us
Bm A
Fingers in a fist like you might run
G F#
I settle for a ghost I never knew
Bm A
Super paradise I held on to
G
But I settle for a ghost
