When I Grow Up (acoustic)

              Em                  F
Boys call you sexy, and you don't care what they say
        Em                                F
And see every time they turn around them screaming your name
              Em                  F
Boys call you sexy, and you don't care what they say
        Em                                F
And see every time they turn around them screaming your name
            Em
(Don't y'all)
                  G                    Em
Now I've got a confession (ha, ha, ha, ha)
                           G                     Em
When I was young I wanted attention (ha, ha, ha, ha)
                                  G                     Em
And I promised myself that I'd do anything (ha, ha, ha, ha)
                            G                      Em
Anything at all for them to notice me (ha, ha, ha, ha)
                   C
But I ain't complaining (oh)
                  Em
We all wanna be famous (oh)
                C            D          Em
So go ahead and say what you wanna say (oh)
                                        C
You don't know what its like to be nameless (oh)
                                Em
Want them to know what your name is (oh)
                    C               D
'Cuz see when I was younger I would say

[Chorus:]
            Em                                   G
When I grow up, I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
            Em                                    G
When I grow up, I wanna see the world, drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
            Em                        G
When I grow up, be on TV, people know me, be on magazines
            Em                              G
When I grow up, fresh and clean, number one chick when I step out on the scene
       D                                  C
And be careful what you wish for 'cuz you just might get it
        Am                         G
“Y” you just might get it, “Y” you just might get it
       D                                  C
And be careful what you wish for 'cuz you just might get it
        Am                         G
“Y” you just might get it, “Y” you just might get it

Em                        G                  Em
I used to tell them I was silly (ha, ha, ha, ha)
                         G (no chords)   Em
Until I popped up on the TV (la, la, la, la)
                        G                                  Em
I always wanted to be a superstar (superstar) (ha, ha, ha, ha)
                                  G                            Em
And knew that singing songs would get me this far (la, la, la, la)
                   C
But I ain't complaining (oh)
                  Em
We all wanna be famous (oh)
                C            D          Em
So go ahead and say what you wanna say (oh)
                                        C
You don't know what its like to be nameless (oh)
                                Em
Want them to know what your name is (oh)
                    C               D
'Cuz see when I was younger I would say

[Chorus]

            C                       D
I see them staring at me, oh, I'm a trendsetter
            Em
Yes this is true 'cuz what I do, no one can do it better
        C                         D
You can talk about me, 'cuz I'm a hot topic
          Am
I see you watching me, watching me and I know you want it

[Chorus 2x]
