[Verse 1]
G D
In 1998 you bought a B.C. Rich
D G
You were a master shredder from the jump
G D
Blew them all away with unruly kids
D G
While I was shedding through my sophomore slump
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A
You had so many chances to become a star
D G
But you never really cared about them
[Chorus]

G D
We signed a record deal at seventeen
D G
Hated by every local band

They say we never paid our dues
D D G
But what does that mean when money never changes hands?

It's 2021 and I'm Almost Famous

You never really cared about them

Are you melting face at the Bellagio?
F D# Bb
Woah oh oh oh oh

Dm Gm
Did you get all weighed down by your heart of gold?
Dm Gm
Cause you really only cared about that
Dm Gm
Wonder if you have a chance to sell your soul
Cm
Did you ever get your money back?
Cm
Did you ever kiss the devil?

In 1998 you bought a B.C. Rich
You were a master shredder from the jump
Blew them all away with the early kids
While I was shedding through my stubborn slump
You had so many chances to become a star
But you never really cared about them
Local God
You'll live forever as a local God
It's even better than the thing you're not

When money never changes hands?
It's 2021 and I'm almost famous
You never really cared about that

All you melting things at the Bellagio
Woah, oh oh, oh oh
Oh you're teaching little kids how to rock 'n roll
Woah, oh oh, oh oh
Did you get weighed down by your heart of gold?
Cause you really only cared about that
Wonder if you have a chance to sell your soul
Did you ever get your money back?
Did you ever kiss the devil?
