G#                                Fm
I swear there's something different
               D#
In this cigarette
                   C#
Helpin' us get lifted
Helpin' us forget
G#                             Fm
I swear there's something extra
Runnin' in our blood
           D#
We're in a hatchback party with the music turned up
        C#
Got my head out the window throwing two fingers up

Chorus:
          G#
Like I'm somebody
                  Fm
As if I'm really somebody
   D#
Tonight I am a big fucking deal
   C#
Tonight I know just how it might feel
       G#
To be somebody
                 Fm
Like I'm really somebody
   D#
Tonight I am a big fucking deal
   C#
Tonight I know just how it might feel

Runnin' from the city
Up the motorway
You know you can't have me
But you kiss me anyway
They can come and get us
This time we won't run

And I say a little prayer that the morning never comes
And I'm screaming over here from the top of my lungs

Chorus:
I am somebody
As if I'm really somebody
Tonight I am a big fucking deal
Tonight I know just how it might feel
To be somebody
Like I'm really somebody
Tonight I am a big fucking deal
Tonight I know just how it might feel
To be somebody
As if I'm really somebody

Tonight
Tonight
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I am somebody
I'm really, really somebody
I'm tellin' you, I'm somebody
I swear to God, I'm somebody
