[Verse 1]
B                    D
  All right have you seen those lads?
          E                       D
There’s a brand new band in town
B                               D
  They’re all right but they’re not that good
      E                           D
Don’t know what the hype’s about

B                   D
  See me I could’ve made it big
         E                             D
I mean I really could’ve been someone
        B                   D
I got a mate named Dave who moved to Spain
            E         D     E
He could’ve had me on Radio 1    I’m tellin ya

[Verse 2]
B                   D
  See me I could’ve made it big
        E                               D
but you live with the choice you choose
    B                      D
The signal’s sh*t but I’ll show you later
       E                       D
nearly got me a million views

          B                    D
He had to call it quits cos he had two kids
    E                           D
the dream went on a back burner
         B  N.C.
And everybody round here's got a cousin or a mate
N.C.
who’s best friends with Alex Turner     I’m tellin ya

[Verse 3]
      B                 D
I'm a local hero at the open mic
      E                         D
I got songs that I writ me sen
          B                     D
But there ain't many here and I need more beer
         E                          D
come and watch me at half past ten

         B                  D
Cos they all go mad for the songs I sing
         E                               D
they all know that I should’ve took off
            B N.C.
But when he gets on stage and he starts to play
N.C.
it's guaranteed that they’ll all f*ck off    I’m tellin ya


[Chorus]

                  B    D  E
