the Jam - To Be Someone  (didn't we have a nice time) chords
Start Jamming...
[D] [A]
[A]
[D] I'm a big fan [B] star.
[E] I guess I think I would like [A] that.
To be rich and have lots of fans.
Have lots of girls to prove that I'm a [D] man.
And be number [B] one.
[E] Like [A] everyone.
[E] [A]
[E]
[A]
Can't cut down with my trendy brands.
They really take me mad when I read [D] them.
And the bread I [C#m] spend.
[Bm] Is like my [F#] friend.
Is quickly [D] diminished.
There's no more swimming in [A] the Kintashe pool.
[D] No more reporters at [A] my back and cool.
No more coking, now it's only [D] ground chump.
No more [A] taxes, now we have to [E] work.
But didn't we have a nice time?
Didn't we have a nice time?
I wasn't it, [G] that's my time.
[A] I realized I should have stuck to my guns.
Stedged out to be one of the bastards.
So I didn't lose [B] myself.
[E] I know I was [F#] wrong.
This cost me a [D] lot.
There's no more [A] drinking when the club shuts [D] down.
I've got a [A] mouse with the rest of the clowns.
[D] It's really [A] funny what a bodyguard.
[D] So say goodbye [A] to my lonely room.
[E] But didn't we [A] have a nice time?
[E] Didn't we have a nice time?
I wasn't it, that's [G] my time.
[A] To be someone must be a wonderful thing.
