"JAMES DEAN" by the Goo Goo Dolls
from the album "JED"

means just one stroke

[Intro]
D A G (x2)

[Verse 1]
D A G
Look around outside.
D A G
Ain't nothin' to do but hang around.
D A G
Thinkin' 'bout all the stupid things that I've done.
D A G
I guess I ain't nothin' but a clown.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em G A
And if I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing.
Em G A
And I don't even think about all the things my wish'd bring, 'cause...

[Chorus 1]
D A G
I just wanna be James Dean.
D A G
I just wanna be James Dean.
D A G
I just wanna be James Dean.
D A G
For a day.

[Interlude 1]
Em G A
I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me, I'm such a jerk.
D A G D A G
And I just wanna be James Dean. For a day.

[Verse 2]
D A G
Think about stories of the actors and the movie stars.
D A G
Sittin' here watchin' the old men drinkin' at the bar.
D A G
I think about Dean and all the things he shoulda tried.
D A G D A G D A G
I think about Dean and all the ways he could've died. Yeah, died.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em G A
And I wouldn't give a shit about anything 'cause I'd be such a big movie star.
Em G A
But that don't really do me much good just cryin' at the bar, but...

[Chorus 2]
D A G
I just wanna be James Dean.
D A G
I just wanna be James Dean.
D A G
I just wanna be James Dean.
D A G
For a day.

[Interlude 2]
Em G A
I wanna be overworked and undersexed and look at me, I'm such a wreck.
D A G D A G D A G
And I just wanna be James Dean. For a day.

[Verse 3]
D A G
I'm goin' crazy 'cause I'm always all alone.
D A G
I'm goin' crazy, no one calls me on the phone.
D A G
I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn't care.
D A G
If I was Dean I know there'd be somebody there.
D A G D A G
Yeah, there'd be somebody there for me.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Em G A
Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say.
Em G A
And then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay. No...

[Chorus 3]
D A G
I don't wanna be James Dean.
D A G
I don't wanna be James Dean.
D A G
I don't wanna be James Dean.
D A G D A G D A G D A G
Anymore.
