Smash Mouth - All Star

Originally in F#, I play in G (all power chords)

This is maybe the only song where I’m not writing out all

the chords; it would be 3 pages for 4 chords.

SomeGbody once Dtold me the Amworld is gonna Croll me

I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb

In the shape of an “L” on her forehead

Well, the years start coming and they don’t stop coming

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

Didn’t make sense not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do, so much to see

So what’s wrong with taking the back streets

You’ll never know if you don’t go

You’ll never shine if you don’t glow

It’s a cool place and they say it gets colder

You’re bundled up now, wait till you get older

But the meteor men beg to differ

Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin

The water’s gettin’ warm so you might as well swim

My world’s on fire, how about yours?

That’s the way I like it and I never get bored

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas

I need to get myself away from this place

I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself

And we could all use a little change

Well, the years start coming and they don’t stop coming

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

Didn’t make sense not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do much to see

So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?

You’ll never know if you don’t go

You’ll never shine if you don’t glow
