C G Em D There's a girl in the backyard bangin' on her drum C G Em D Sittin' in a junk pile laughing at the sun C G Em D Singin' "ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar" C G Em D There's a boy in the backseat singin' to the song C G Em D Playin' on the radio, knowing he's the one C G Em D Singin' "ah ha ha, I just wanna be a rockstar" C G Em D Singin' "ah ha ha, I was born to be a rockstar!"
