Strum
D-DU-UDU
To  be someone must be a wonderful thing
A  famous footballer or rocksinger
 Or a big  filmstar,  yes I think  I would like that
To  be rich and have lots of fans
Have  lots of girls to prove that I'm a man
 And be No.  1  - and  liked by everyone
Getting  drugged up with my trendy friends
They  really dig me and I dig them
 And the bread  I spend -  is like  my fame -  it's quickly diminished
 And there's no  more swiming in a guitar  shaped pool
No  more reporters at my back  and call
No  more cocaine, it's only  ground chalk
No  more taxis now we'll have  to walk
 But didn't  we have a nice  time -
 Didn't  we have a nice  time
 Oh wasn't  it such a fine  time
I  realize should have stuck to my guns
Instead  shit out be one of the bastard sons
 And lose  myself  - I  know it was wrong - but  it's cost me a lot
 And there's no  more drinking after the club  shuts down
 I'm now  at my arse with the rest  of the clowns
It's  really frightening without a bodyguard
So  I stay confined to my lonely  room
 But didn't  we have a nice  time -
 Didn't  we have a nice  time
 Oh wasn't  it such a fine  time
To  be someone must me a wonderful thing
