Intro/Pre-chord: C F C Dm C G
C CM9/B Am C
When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream
F G C F
At Barker Street Bus Station every night
C CM9/B Am C
When I tried to get it on she just looked at me with scorn
F G C C CM9/B
My courage turned to fear and I took flight
Am F G C CM9/B
For those looks they seemed to say you ain?t nothin' go away
Am G F G C
You?re just some face in some crowd so I walked home and I vowed
F Em Dm C
I'm gonna be somebody someday
C CM9/B Am C
Her name was Irene Wilde Oh such beauty for a child
F G C F
When she started dating boys I nearly died
C CM9/B Am C
Well I could not barely stand seeing anyone hold her hand
F G C C CM9/B
I thought I'd have to crawl away and hide
Am F G C
In my mother's Sunday room I?d compose so many tunes
CM9/B Am G F G C
They was all the same just a frame for the name and just to say
F Em Dm C
I'm gonna be somebody someday
Bb F G C CM9/B
Wild was your name, I soon left that country town
Am F
I?ve been around, I've seen some things,
G C
I?ve seen some ups, I've seen some downs
Bb F G C
Smile through your shock as you hear your name outloud
Am F
I?s that face in the crowd
G C
I didn't dig it I'm much too proud
C F C F C F
C CM9/B Am C
When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for that dream
F G C F
At Barker street bus station non-affair
C CM9/B Am C
At the time it seemed so sad but it didn't turn out bad
F G C C CM9/B
if she hadn't turned me down I'd still be there
Am F
Well I think most folks agree
G C CM9/B
A little put-down makes them see
Am G F
they aint the chain they're just a link
G C
and thats why she made me think
F Em Dm F Em Dm F Em Dm C
I'm gonna be somebody, be somebody, be somebody ?" someday
