[Verse 1]
C G/B
When I was just sixteen
Am C/G
I stood waiting for a dream
F G C F/C C
At Barker's Street bus station every night
C G/B
When I tried to get it on
Am C/G
She just looked at me with scorn
F G C F/C C
My courage turned to fear and I took flight
[Chorus]
Am F
For those looks, they seemed to say
G C
You ain't nothin', go away
G/B Am C/G F
You're just a face in the crowd
G C
So I went home and I vowed
F C/E Dm7 C F/C C F/C
I'm gonna be somebody, someday
[Verse 2]
C G/B
Her name was Irene Wilde
Am C/G
Oh, such beauty for a child
F G C F/C C
When she started dating boys, I nearly died
C G/B
For I could not barely stand
Am C/G
Seeing anyone hold her hand
F G C F/C C
I felt I had to crawl away and hide
[Chorus]
Am F
In my mother's sunny room
G C
I composed so many tunes
G/B Am C/G F
They were all the same, just a frame
G C
For a name and just to say
F C/E Dm7 C
I'm gonna be somebody, someday
[Bridge]
A# F
Wilde is your name
G C
As you left that country town
G/B Am C/G F
I'd been around, I'd seen some fame
G C
I'd seen some ups, I'd seen some downs
A# F
Smile through your shock
G C
When you hear your name aloud
G/B Am C/G F
It's that face in the crowd
G C
I didn't dig it, I'm much too proud
[Instrumental]
C F/C C F/C C F/C C F/C
[Verse]
C G/B
When I was just sixteen
Am C/G
I stood waiting for that dream
F G C F/C C
At Barker's Street bus station, non-affair
C G/B
At the time, it seem ed so sad
Am C/G
But it didn't turn out bad
F G C F/C C
If she hadn't turned me down, I'd still be there
[Chorus]
Am F
You know, I think those folks agree
G C
A little put-down makes them see
G/B Am C/G F
They ain't no chain; they're just the link
G C
And that's why she made me think
F C/E Dm7 F C/E Dm7
I'm gonna be somebody, be somebody
F C/E Dm7 C
Be somebody, someday
