Intro
G Gb Bm x4


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


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


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

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


Chorus

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

Gb G Gb

Bm                 A
Where I was from NOLA no one
G             D        Em
Left to be a rock and roll star
Bm            A
He'd stay and treat his lady
G                  D       Em
Give everything to his new baby


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

Gb G Em x2

Gb
I know you don't but I
G
I know you don't but I still try
Gb
My thunder shook him down
G          Bm         Gb           G       
My thunder came and shook him down
               D       
That girl is gone but I
Gb                            G
That girl is gone but I still try
             A
I think it's over now
Gb          
The bullet hit but maybe not
G          A
I feel so fucking numb
Gb                          G          
It hits my head and I feel numb


           A
My body's looking wrong
Gb
My body's looking wrong

My body's looking wrong


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

Gb Bm A G x4
