[Verse]
    D         A           Em             G
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
  D                  A           Em      G
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
        D               A             Em             G
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
       D           A          Em         G
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
          D                           A
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Em                     G
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
D                        A
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
     Em                        G
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
   D              A
So much to do, so much to see
          Em                    G
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
       D                       A
You'll never know if you don't go
       Em                       G
You'll never shine if you don't glow
[Chorus]
D                  G                  G#(b5)    G
Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
D                 G                  G#(b5)    G
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid
    D        G            G#(b5)
And all that glitters is gold
G             D     C          G
Only shooting stars break the mold
[Verse]
       D                   A
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
       Em                   G
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
        D                 A
But the meteor men beg to differ
               Em                    G
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
           D                       A
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
                    Em                        G
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
              D                A
My world's on fire, how about yours
                 Em                         G
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
[Chorus]
D                  G                  G#(b5)    G
Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
D                 G                  G#(b5)    G
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid
D        G            G#(b5)
All that glitters is gold
G             D     C          G
Only shooting stars break the mold

[Verse]
    D         A             Em                    G
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
          D           A              Em     G
I need to get myself away from this place
       D              A
I said yep, what a concept
        Em                  G
I could use a little fuel myself
             D         A       Em
And we could all use a little change
          D                           G
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
G#(b5)                     G
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
D                        G
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
     G#(b5)                        G
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
   D              G
So much to do, so much to see
          G#(b5)                    G
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
       D                       G
You'll never know if you don't go
       G#(b5)                       G
You'll never shine if you don't glow
[Chorus]
D                  G                  G#(b5)    G
Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play

Only shooting stars break the mold

And all that glitters is gold
G             D     C         G
Only shooting stars break the mold
