[Chorus]
          A
Well, I guess I've been a long time
 A
Working in the back line
  A
Trying to make a song fit
           A
When you know it never was mine


[Verse 1]
  D
Two dollar high-heel shoes
                   A
And a honky tonk dress
         D
In the rhythm and the soul reviews
                  A
I had a dream I guess, yeah yes
       A
And I had to beat the stage fright
   A
I had to cry all night
  A
Trying to make a song fit
           A
When you know it never was right
          D
I said, "Girl, get up and
                 A
Get out of this mess


[Chorus]
                      G             D
You're going to be an overnight sensation
                             A
Going to be an overnight success"


[Verse 2]
    A
And all through the badlands
 A
Rocking on the bandstands
         A
It's so hard in the bar bands
              A
When there's no one there who understands
 D
Lady luck will pass you by
                        A
And she will never say yes


[Chorus]
                      G             D
You're going to be an overnight sensation
               D
Going to be an overnight
                          B
Going to be an overnight success

[Verse 3]
  E
I used to be a sweet little
 E
Rock 'N' Roll singer
  B
Chasing after fortune and fame
  E
What's your story?
  E
What's your payola?
 A                    E
Me, I'm in the music game


[Chorus]
         B
Well I guess I've been a long time
 B
Working in a back line
      B
I'm trying to make a song fit
    B
I know it never was mine


[Chorus]
   E
Eh, what can I tell you?
                   B
I made a break I guess
               A             E
And now I'm an overnight sensation
      E
Over, overnight
                      B
Say I'm an overnight sensation
