Dm Bb
A lonely boy in the city
G A Dm Bb
Standing tall up to his blue jean jacket and eyes of pity
G A
He's got a dream, now he told his Papa
G A
"Don't you worry Daddy
Dm Bb
I'll be back to show you what a life I've made"
G A
With a tear falling from his eyes
Dm A
He knew that he wanted to be
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
Oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be
G A
Oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol
[Verse]
Dm Bb
Standing in his hometown
G A
Waiting for the bus that'll take him
Dm Bb
Further than he's ever been
G A
Picked up his bags and kissed his sweetheart
G A
"Don't you worry honey, I'll be back
Dm Bb
To show you what a life I've made"
G A
With a tear falling from her eyes
Dm A
She knew that he'd love to be
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
Oh, he wants to be, yes, he's got to be
G A
Oh, he'd love to be a teenage idol
Dm Bb
Oh, if he could see, his name on the marquee
G A
He'd live so happily, as a teenage idol
[Interlude]

[Solo]
Dm Bb G A x2
Dm Bb
He's in another city
G A Dm Bb
Standing tall up to his satin jacket and eyes of pity
G A
He's got it all except for his Papa
G A
"Don't you worry, Daddy
Dm Bb
I've shown them what a pretty life I've made
G A
Even though I'll miss you badly
Dm A
You know I always wanted to be
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
Oh, I want to be, yes, I've got to be
G A
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
Dm Bb
Oh, I want to be, yes, I've got to be
G A
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
Dm Bb
Yes, I want to be, oh, I've got to be
G A
Oh, I'd want to be a teenage idol
Dm Bb
Yes, I'd love to see, my name on the marquee
G A
I'd live so happily as a teenage idol
Dm Bb G A
Oh, I'd want to be, yes, I've got to be
Dm Bb G A
Oh, I'd love to be a teenage idol
