Rock N Roll Nerd Tim Minchin
[Am]Doesn't have a problem with drugs,
He just doesn't [Dm]do them,
He's [G]fine that his mates have tattoos,
But he reckon's they'll [Am]rue them,
And [Dm]all he's ever wanted to [G]be
Is a [C]rock star on [G/B]RAGE or [Am]MTV, [C/G]
But he [Dm]knows that it's not very [G]likely,
Now that he's [E]thirty he knows that...
[E] He will always [Am]be
A rock'n'roll [G]nerd,
He'll keep writing [C]songs the world will [G/B]never hear,
And [Am]though the won't be [C/G]heard
Dm/F E (or minor - not sure)
He'll keep on writing, oh yeah,
But you [D]see the problem [Gm]is
He always [C7]thought he'd be a [F]star,
But he learnt [Bb]piano instead of [Eb]guitar,
Which in the [D]nineties didn't get you very [Gm]far,
So while the [C7]other kids were learning [F]Stairway
He was the [Bb]piano to their [Eb]forte,
But he was [D]convinced one day
He'd rock their fucking [Eb]arses,
Or be an [D]icon for the disenfranchised [Eb]masses,
Grow his [D]hair long and rebel against the [Eb]state,
But for [Emb5]now that'd have to [F]wait,
'Cause he's running [D/F#]late for his morning [G]classes.
While his [Cm]mates all stay out late,
Popping [Eb]pills and havin [F]fun,
He stays home and [Cm]showers,
And gets a good eight hours,
He gets his [Eb]thrills from his morning [F]run,
While his [Cm]mates all go on dates,
Taking [Eb]speed and drinking cans of [F]Beam,
He stays home and [Cm]cooks,
And curls up with a book,
And the girl he's [Eb]had since he was [F]seventeen
'Cause he's never really [Gm]been part of the scene,
While the other kids liked [Bb]Gunners he liked Queen,
He's more into [C7]Beatles that the Stones,
He's more Stevie [Eb]Wonder than [F]Ramones,
He never [Gm]owned a panel van,
He never [Bb]shot a Sepultura fan,
He doesn't know the [C7]difference between metal and thrash,
He couldn't tell you [Eb]nothing about Axl and [F]Slash,
He likes Ben [Gm]Folds and The Jackson Five,
He knows all the [Bb]words to Stayin' Alive,
And although he [C7]wants to be all grungy and cool
He spent eleven [Eb]years in a private [F]school,
So it doesn't [Gm]matter how hard he tries,
He cannot [Bb]hide behind his rock'n'roll lies,
'Cause you've either [C7]got it or you don't,
Yeah, you'll either [Eb]rock it or you [F]won't,
You've either got i[Gm]t or you don't,
Yeah, you'll either [Bb]rock it or you wont.
[C7///] [Eb//] [F//] [D/Gb//] [E/Ab//]
You can criticise [F]him and he won't [G]care,
'Cause he wants to [F]rock, and he will [C/E]never be [D]deterred,
He'll [F/G]always be a fucked-up little tryhard wannabe rock'n'roll [C]nerd.
