DmBb
A lonely boy in the city
GADmBb
Standing tall up to his blue jean jacket and eyes of pity
GA
He's got a dream, now he told his Papa
GA
"Don't you worry Daddy
DmBb
I'll be back to show you what a life I've made"
GA
With a tear falling from his eyes
DmA
He knew that he wanted to be
[Chorus]
DmBb
Oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be
GA
Oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol
[Verse]
DmBb
Standing in his hometown
GA
Waiting for the bus that'll take him
DmBb
Further than he's ever been
GA
Picked up his bags and kissed his sweetheart
GA
"Don't you worry honey, I'll be back
DmBb
To show you what a life I've made"
GA
With a tear falling from her eyes
DmA
She knew that he'd love to be
[Chorus]
DmBb
Oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be
GA
Oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol
DmBb
Oh, if he could see, his name on the marquee
GA
He'd live so happily, as a teenage idol

[Solo]
Dm Bb G A x2
DmBb
He's in another city
GADmBb
Standing tall up to his satin jacket and eyes of pity
GA
He's got it all except for his Papa
GA
"Don't you worry, Daddy
DmBb
I've shown them what a pretty life I've made
GA
Even though I'll miss you badly
DmA
You know I always wanted to be
[Chorus]
DmBb
Oh, I want to be, yes, I've got to be
GA
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
DmBb
Oh, I want to be, yes, I've got to be
GA
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
DmBb
Yes, I want to be, oh, I've got to be
GA
Oh, I'd want to be a teenage idol
DmBb
Yes, I'd love to see, my name on the marquee
GA
I'd live so happily as a teenage idol
DmBbGA
Oh, I'd want to be, yes, I've got to be
DmBbGA
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
