A   A                                  B
 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

Chorus:

Verse 2:
A   A                       B
 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
    E                       A
You never really cared about that

 Are you melting face at the Bellagio?

Or are you teaching little kids how to rock 'n' roll?
   G F C
Woah
          Em                     Am
Did you get weighed down by your heart of gold?
             Em                   Am
'Cause you really only cared about  that
  Em                          Am
Wonder if you had a chance to sell your soul
         Dm
Did you ever get your money back?
         Ddim
Did you ever kiss the devil?
