Verse 1 
E G# C#m A 
Johnny wanna be a big star 
Get on stage and play the guitar 
Make a little money

Big old house and an alligator 
Just to match with them alligator shoes 
Hes a rich man so hes no longer singin the blues

E G# C#m A 
But, diamonds don't bling in the dark 
He a star now, but he aint singing from the heart 
Sooner or later hes just gonna fall apart 
Coz hes fans can't relate to his new found art 
He ain't doing what he did from the start 
and thats -----? 
 
F#m 
He decided to live his life shallow 
 
B 
Passion is love for material
