Em               D    A
I don't want to be a star
              Em          D       A
Just want my chevy and an old guitar
Em               D     A
I don't want to be a star
G                       E
I don't need the fat cigar

Em          D               A
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
       Em          D          A
'cause I don't get off on my fame
Em     D           A
I got so much confusion now
     Em           D             A
Sometimes I don't even know my name

Chorus

Too many distractions run through my brain
So many girls they start to look the same
Too many options no time to choose
Too many clothes, too many shoes

I've had the world I've done it upside down
I played the part and I've been the clown
Now it's my time, it's a brand new day
To be myself in a different way

Chorus

          G                      F#
I got to meet all the wonderful people
C                             D
I drank with Dylan boy did we act a fool
          G                     F#
I got to meet all the fabulous people
C                       D
I got high with Jagger, it was realy cool

Never, never, never
Never, never, never
Never, never, never
Never, never, never, hey
I say never no no
I say never no no no
I say never no no
I say never no no
I say never no no
I say never no no no no
Never, never

Chorus - x2
