Bm                   A
When I was young and stupid my love
G            D
Left to be a rock and roll star
Bm         A
He told me please don't worry
G                      D
Wise little smile that spoke so 
safely

Bm          A
He booked a one way ticket
G               D
Out west that's where they make it
Bm             A
Six kids stuck in a bedsit
G           D
To sunswept poolside riches

( Bm  A  G  D )

Bm                A
He met a girl who wore Versace
G                      D
Pink feather coats and jumbo jewelry
Bm          A
Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
G               D
He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwan

Bm         A
He's got a gold Camaro
G         D
He said over the payphone
Bm       A
I try to keep my cool but
G             D
My life turns in slow motion

G            F#
Bye bye baby blue
                 Bm            
I wish you could see the wicked 
 A
truth
               G                 F#
Caught up in a rush it's killing you
                 Bm            A
Screaming at the sun you blow into
               G                 F#
Curled up in a grip when we were us
             Bm                  A
Fingers in a fist like you might run
               G             F#
I settle for a ghost I never knew
          Bm             A
Super paradise I held on to
                   G
But I settle for a ghost

Bm                A
When I was from n.o.l.a no one
G            D
Left to be a rock and roll star
Bm            A
He'd stay and treat his lady
G                  D
Give everything to his new baby

Bm         A
I miss him don't you blame me
G             D
That boy went stone cold crazy
Bm           A
Caught up in camera lust he's
G            D
Chasing that pappy pipe dreams

( F#  G )

F#
I know you don't but I
G                            F#
I know you don't but I still try

My thunder shook him down
G                             Bm
My thunder came and shook him down

That girl is gone but I
F#                            G
That girl is gone but I still try

I think it's over now
F#                       Bm
The bullet hit but maybe not

I feel so fucking numb
F#                         G
It hits my head and I feel numb

My body's looking wrong
F#
My body's looking wrong

My body's looking wrong

G            F#
Bye bye baby blue
                 Bm            
I wish you could see the wicked 
 A
truth
               G                 F#
Caught up in a rush it's killing you
                 Bm            A
Screaming at the sun you blow into
               G                 F#
Curled up in a grip when we were us
             Bm                  A
Fingers in a fist like you might run
               G             F#
I settle for a ghost I never knew
          Bm             A
Super paradise I held on to
                   G
But I settle for a ghost
