Intro: D
Verse:
D
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 okay
I guess I never should sang Beyonce
uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
so I dropped the Mic
Pre Chorus:
A G
Oh yeah all the people
A
In the bar turned round and stared
G A
I was on my knees and whipping round my hair
G
and I knew that I was winning
Chorus:

Close my eyes and see the crowd

I keep it with me night and day

Verse:
D
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
Pre Chorus:
A G
But I know my friends
A
all think I'm living such a lie
G A
but the lie they think I'm living gets me high
G
it's the gift that keeps on giving
Chorus:
D
Close my eyes and see the crowd
A G A
