Im Going To Be A Teenage Idol Chords & Lyrics - Elton John

Well there's s[Am7]lim times when my words won't rhyme
And the [C]hills I face are a [F]long hard climb
[G]I just sit cross legged with my old [C]guitar [F] [C]
It [Am]kind of makes me f[G]eel like a rock and ro[F7]ll star

Well it [Am7]makes me laugh Lord it makes me cry
And I [C]think for once let me just get [F]high
[G]Let me get electric put a silk suit [C]on [F] [C]
[Am]Turn my old gu[G]itar into a to[F7]mmy gun

And [D]root-toot-shoot myself to fame
Every [Am7]kid alive gonna know my name
An [D7]overnight pheno[E7]menon like there's never b[F7]een
[F7]A motivated supersonic [G7]king of the s[A]cene

I'll [Dm]be a teenage [G]idol, j[Dm]ust give me a [G]break
I'm gonna [Cmaj7]be a teenage idol[Am] no matt[Dm]er how long it take[G]s
You [Dm]can't imagine what it means to [G]me
I'm [Dm]gonna grab myself a [G]place in histo[A7]ry

A [F]teenage idol [Ab] that's what I'm [E7]gonna [Am]be [G] [F]

Well [Am]life is short and the world is rough
And [C]if you're gonna boogie boy you [F]got to be tough
[G]Nobody knows if I'm dead or aliv[C]e [F] [C]
[Am]I just drink my[G]self to sleep each [F7]night

And so I [Am]pray to the teenage god of rock
If I [C]make it big let me stay on [F]top
[G]You got to cut me loose from this one room [C]div[F]e [C]
[Am]Put me on the[G] ladder keep this boy a[F7]live
