Year: 1996 - Album: Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player

Written by Elton John/Bernie Taupin

	  		Intro: Am-G-F 
              Am            
Well there's slim times when my words won't rhyme 
        G                  F 
And the hills I face are a long hard climb 
G                                   C 
I just sit cross legged with my old guitar 
   Am                Am/G                     F7 
It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star 

        Am 
Well it makes me laugh Lord it makes me cry 
      G                              F 
And I think for once let me just get high 
G                                   C 
Let me get electric put a silk suit on 
Am            Am/G              F 
Turn my old guitar into a tommy gun 

    D  
And root-toot-shoot myself to fame 
      Am                                
Every kid alive gonna know my name 
   D             E7                        F 
An overnight phenomenon like there's never been 
F                      G           A 
A motivated supersonic king of the scene 

     Dm           G      Dm            G 
I'll be a teenage idol, just give me a break 
          C            Am      Dm                 G 
I'm gonna be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes 
    Dm                             G 
You can't imagine what it means to me 
    Dm                  G             A7 
I'm gonna grab myself a place in history 

  F               G#                     E7    Am      G   F 
A teenage idol           that's what I'm gonna be 

     Am 
Well life is short and the world is rough 
    G                              F 
And if you're gonna boogie boy you got to be tough 
G                               C 
Nobody knows if I'm dead or alive 
Am             Am/G                F 
I just drink myself to sleep each night 

         Am 
And so I pray to the teenage god of rock 
     G                          F 
If I make it big let me stay on top 
G                                          C 
You got to cut me loose from this one room dive 
Am           Am/G                   F 
Put me on the ladder keep this boy alive
