C E
Johnny wanna be a big star

Get on stage and play the guitar

Am F
Big old house and an alligator
C E
Just to match with them alligator shoes
Am F
He's a rich man so he's no longer singing the blues
D
He's singing songs about material things
G
And platinum rings and watches that go bling
C E
But, diamonds don't bling in the dark
Am F
He a star now, but he ain't singing from the heart
C E
Sooner or later he's just gonna fall apart
Am F
Coz his fans can't relate to his new found art
C E
He ain't doing what he did from the start
Am F
And that's foolish cause and feeling it far (????)
D
He decided to live his life shallow
G
Passion is love for material
{Chorus}
C G
And its gone... gone... going...
Am F
Gone... everything gone... give a damn...
C G Am F
Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing...
C- Am
Gone people... up awkward with their things... gone.
C- E- Am- F
You see yourself in the mirror
And you feel safe coz it looks familiar
D- G
And you fail to see that it's trivial
Insignificant, you addicted to material
C- E- Am- F
I've seen your kind before
You're the type that thinks souls is sold in a store
D- G
Coz... what happens when they take your material
You already sold your soul and its...
C G
And its gone... gone... going...
Am F
Gone... everything gone... give a damn...
C G Am F
Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing...
C G Am F C- Am- C- Am
Gone people... up awkward with their things... gone.
{Chorus}
C- E- Am- F
You say that time is money and money is time
So you got mind in your money and your money on your mind
D- G
They'll do no good on the bridges you've walked along the way
C- E
All that money that you got gonna be gone
Am- F
That gear that you rock gonna be gone
C- E
The house up on the hill gonna be gone
Am- F
The gold burst on your grill gonna be gone
C- E
The ice on your wrist gonna be gone
Am- F
That nice little Miss gonna be gone
D- G
That whip that you roll gonna be gone
And what's worst is your soul will be gone
C G
And its gone... gone... going...
Am F
Gone... everything gone... give a damn...
C G Am F
Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing...
C G Am F C- Am- C- Am(2x)
Gone people... up awkward with their things... gone.
