[Intro]
Am G Am G

[Verse]
        Am
You say you don′t wanna run and hide
  F                G
A face that no one knows
    Am                              G
And everyone you meet, you're gonna show
Am                              G
You′re nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin′ you
    Am                                  F
You hold your fist up high and rule the zoo

[Pre Chorus]
F            G      Am
Oh, you just got to be
   F              G                      Am
Up high where the whole world′s watchin' me
       F                    G
′Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody

To cry out

[Chorus]
Am      G            F           G
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
Am      G            F           G
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too
Am      G            F           G
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
Am      G            F           G
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too

[Verse]
         Am
You say, you don't wanna starve
            F                 G
Or take the table crumbs that fall
Am                              G
You don′t wanna beg or plead at all
Am
You don't want no nine to five
     F              G
Your fingers to the bone
Am                                   F
You don′t want to rock pile's bloody stones

[Pre Chorus]
F            G      Am
Oh, you just got to be
   F              G                      Am
Up high where the whole world's watchin′ me
       F                    G
′Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody

To cry out

[Chorus]
Am      G            F           G
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
Am      G            F           G
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too
Am      G            F           G
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
Am      G            F           G
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too

         F
(I want) shiny cars and dirty money
G
Lotsa rock and roll
         F
(I will) live in fame and die in flames
    G
I'm never gettin′ old

[Chorus]
Am      G            F           G
I wanna be somebody, be somebody soon
Am      G            F           G
I wanna be somebody, be somebody too

F
I'm gonna be somebody
I′m gonna be somebody
