 In nineteen ninetyeight, you bought a b.c. Rich
           E                          A
You were a master shredder from the jump
                            B
Blew them all away with the Ritalin kids
            E                                A
While I was shedding through my sophomore slump
      Gbm                     B
You had  so many chances to become a star
          E                     A
But you never really cared about that

 We signed a record deal at seventeen
  E                    A
Hated by every local band

They say we never paid our dues
         B                     E                    A
But what does that mean when money never changes hands?
        Gbm                   B
It's twenty twentyone and I'm almost famous

          Em                     Am
Did you get weighed down by your heart of gold?

'Cause you really only cared about  that
  Em                          Am
Wonder if you had a chance to sell your soul
         Dm
