1. _ Star
Am-f-c-d
Am-c-f-dm
Am-c-f-g-am-f-g (ending:am)
Gonna make you a star
And show the world your green, green eyes
See your smiling face
Everywhere, everyplace
We could turn it upside down
We could turn it inside out
We'll give you everything
Things that you'd never need,
Things that you'd never dream
Things like eternity
Gonna make you a star
Make you a star
Make you a star
Gonna make you a star
You stare down at the emptiness
You shake us from our poisonous
Slumbering and stuttering
So start and stop the fall
?coarse masses? down the hall
We'll blow you through the door
Into a million bits
We'll reassemble it
That's how we'll make a hit
Gonna make you a star
Make you a star
Make you a star

(ending:g7)
I'm living up near fresno
Just up highway 99
Won't you come and pay a visit
I'm here all the time
I'm still here waiting
Waiting for you girl
I'm still waiting
Waiting for you girl
I could wander up to phoenix
Get a good construction job
If the sunstroke, it don't kill me
The meth-amphetamine will
But i'll still be waiting
Waiting for you girl
I'll still be waiting
Waiting for you girl
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
Waiting for you girl
This once was an ocean
Or should i say an ocean floor
It should all be a desert
And it shall be once more
But i'll still be waiting
Waiting for you girl
Yeah, be here waiting
Waiting for you girl
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting
Waiting for you girl

3. _ Seven Days
Em-c-g
Em-g-c-g
C-a-g
C-g-c-g
E-d-g
So we were standing, like the last rock band on the planet
Of vapor trails and alpine skies
It's all green fields, yellow flowers, and brown liquor
Oh brown liquor
Bug's got a job in the catskills
Met some fraulein along the way
Took her home, but then she had an episode
Though it did disturb him, he was strangely compelled
Seven days will i've been waiting
Seven days and seven nights
Seven days will i've been dreaming
Of the real thing
Of the real thing
So we were standing around, fading in and out of fashion
While amerikids dug eurobeats
Well we know all of the doormen and other bartendresses
And there ain't nothing that you don't got that we don't need
Did i say that right?
Seven days will i've been waiting
Seven days and seven nights
Seven days will i've been dreaming
Of the real thing
Of the real thing

And the silver hours, they are mashed and sour

Past the dead and awkward factory
Anthracite grey on cobblestone
And the sooted flowers, on gentleman's towers
My sweet darling, where have you gone?

St. patrick led the sailor into the wasteland
A herd of swine surrounded them one day
It was the answer to their prayers, a sure sign that god, he cared
But mccarthy disagreed: it's not that simple
So hallelujah
Hallelujah
The fisherman, he rode the city's river
The dirty water rose through sorry planks
And the vandal moranjou? 'pon gay st. heard the news
They commissioned him to rise up from the cobbles
Yeah bm ha-a-llelu-d-jah

7. _ Lullabye
D-em
D-em-g-d
Bm-c-g-d
"only when i laugh, does it hurt."
The doctor says, "please, son, remove your skirt."
"i'd be glad to comply, but i'm not wearing one."
The doctor says, "that's strange, nor am i."
A scotsman throws a pole into the air
The alderman all vote in some affair
The mayor, he abstained--and ain't that strange
He's still a bachelor? perhaps he's gay.
A corpse is laid out neatly on a slab
Professor's working madly in his lab
The assistant files her nails and checks her hair
There's just a hint of danger in the air
There's just a hint of danger in the air
No one is alarmed nor seems to care
Everyone is happy, we're all fine
We all fall in love all the time
Yeah, we all fall in love from a plane
With the stewardess, she serves us in our dreams
When we wake, we find that it has rained
When it rains, it lulls us back to sleep
So rest your weary eyes and go to sleep
Or rest your weary head and come to me
Move your lips and sing this lullabye
Move your lips and sing this lullabye

(ending: g)
You're a wild one
Well i was once like you
They couldn't tame you
Kicked you out of the zoo
Drank all of that soda pop
Red candy on your chin
I gave ya something to slow you down
Just sped you up instead
You're a wild one
A wild one
You're a wild one
A wild one
You're a wild one
Were you raised by wolves?
Learned their dark secrets
Under the light of the moon?
That's when the ??? comes
To lock you in your chair
So scream along at the top of your lungs
Shout and shake your hair
You're a wild one
A wild one
You're a wild one
A wild one

9. _ The Good Life
C-d-em-g-c-d-em
D-c-em-d
This holy circus camp
Aladdin and his lamp
A feverish daydreams and sway de loca
My face in magazines
The lesbian james dean
I got all i ever wanted
So i don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Well i don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Down miles of empty road
With acolytes in tow
You could be persephone
A pigeon through the glass
A drunken trapeze act
Well you got all you ever wanted
So i don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me
Well i don't mind saying
This is how the good life's supposed to be
The good life for you, for me

When your only girl betrayed you, boy,
What did you do with your wisdom?
Well you loved that girl again, loved that girl again
Now who you got to blame for your trials and tribulations?
What did you do when you found the man,
The one who stole your good girl?
Well you cut him up and down, heard you cut him all around
Now who you got to blame for your trials and tribulations?
Well i tried to tell you
But you run and hide
Down by the riverbed
Stay drunk all night
It weren't no lady
With scorpion
Well, you're just another rabbit on the run
When they dragged you to the courthouse, boy,
What did you do with your wisdom?
Well you cursed the judge again, cursed the judge again
Who you gonna blame for your trials and tribulations?
Well i tried to tell you
But you run and hide
Down by the trestle bridge
With a .45
It weren't no lady
With scorpion
Well, you're just another rabbit on the ru

Well we went to the station
They were looking for vegas
But i was stuck in my beat phase
Like it was 1959
They say the girls wanna hip-shake
They say the boys wanna ball-break
But we couldn't be bothered
Cuz we're hipper than y'all
And everyday i resolve to say
The world is mine
So bring your ??? salvation
Or a standing ovation
Cuz i really deserve it
And so much more
The big kid in the magazines
You and me, we went to make the scene
?better get your? name, man
And tomorrow you'll be gone
So everyday i resolve to say
The world is mine

The devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Yeah, the devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Don't send no invitation, i don't have much to say
Well, i heard about your man, and i will laugh at him sometime
Yeah, i heard about your man, and i will laugh at him sometime
Cuz i can see his sad day coming when your lies will burn him blind
Well, i'm standing in the churchyard, standing here without a sound
Yeah, i'm standing in the churchyard, standing here without a sound
Wishing i'd been born the kind of man could go in and shoot you down
The devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Yeah, the devil will send demons to fly around your wedding day
Well they'll strike you down at midnight, and a-carry me away

14. _ I Want Out Of The Circus
Now bm i, i want f#(7) out of the bm circus
Since the g girl in the blue sparkly d(7) dress
On one g knee, f# i con-bm-fessed g
Put an bm end to that f#(7) exchange of bm glances g-f#7
Now i, i want out of the circus
That old gang of dwarves
Sometimes, they're downright feral
When they, they've been around that old beer barrel
Break
(this verse is absent from the garage d'or version)
The old lion's teeth
Seems like a smile to me
With some sweet relief
I just stick my head in
Now my tale, it's too ordinary
For anyone to care at all
Not like the man repeatedly struck by lightning
When he bears his scars, we all know
When he bm bears his f#(7) scars, he's a bm star g-f#7

My life is totally boring without you around
These days, they fade to another; i want you around
So i'd like to say
That i'm better off,
I'm happier this way...
But my life is totally empty without you around
Well my life is totally boring without you
Well i fell, but you fell much farther, i was envious
Around here, everyone loves you, cuz you are insane
So we started a band,
Owe it all to our fans,
Went somewhere near the top...
My life is totally empty without you around
Yeah my life is totally boring without you

Well is it am such a sin to linger with the maga-f-zines c-g
I want a am chocolate bar made with something f sweet c-g
I want a am stranger with your face
So i d followed her to this place
It's f been so long - i've g been around the world am
I say hello to howie, say hello to spike
'cause the canals in camden are filled with bottles tonight
To watch the ripples fade away
To feel the rain upon my head
So i could say, i've been around the world
And how i wish i was in your apartment tonight
To hear the rain come down, down upon your roof
To see your clothes beside, clothes beside your bed
To lightly listen to your breath
Instead, i've been, i've been around the world
Break
And how i wish i was in your bed tonight
To taste the salt upon, salt upon your neck
To feel your body press, pressing down on me
Instead of being, i've been around the world
Yeah i've f been around,
I've g been around the world am
Yeah i've f been around,
I've g been around the world am
