Teenage idol (video) (intro) (midi) (sample)

F - Fm - C - G

- - - - - - - - C Am C F G

1. Some people call me a teenage idol, some people say they envy me,

C Am Dm G

I guess they got no way of knowing how lonesome I can be.

- - - - - - - - C Am C F G

2. I need somebody to be my baby, someone to tell my troubles to,

C Am Dm C

I've got no time to ever find her ‘cause I'm just passing through.

F Fm C

I travel around, from town to lonely town,

Am D Em - C7

I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone,

F Fm

if I find fortune and fame, and lots of people know my name,

D D7 G - G7

that won't mean a thing if I'm all alone.

- - - - - C Am C F G

3. I get no rest when I'm feeling weary, I got to pack my bags and go,

C Am Dm C

I got to be somewhere tomorrow to smile and do my show.

+ CHORUS

4. Some people call me a teenage idol, some people say they envy me,

C Am Dm C

I guess they got no way of knowing how lonesome I can be.

F C

How lonesome I can be.
