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 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 jewelry
Bm          A
Gonna be a hoop phenomenon
G               D     Em
He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwan

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

[Refrão]

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

( F#  G  F# )

Bm                A
When 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

( F#  G  Em )

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

My body's looking wrong

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