[Verse 1]
  G         A                      G C
I used to shiver in the wings
 G  A                  G C
But then I was young
   G       A                    G C
I used to shiver in the wings
   G      A                   G C
until I found my own tongue

[Chorus]
G  D                          E
I sock 'em everywhere that I sing
       F
Cause you know baby

I'm the Next Big Thing

[Verse 2]
G   A                            G  C
I knocked 'em dead in Dallas
G      A                    G  C
And I didn't pay my dues
  G       A                          G  C
Yeah, I knocked 'em dead in Dallas
      G       A                   G  C
They didn't know we were Jews

[Chorus]
G  D                          E
I sock 'em everywhere that I sing

I'm a fuel injected legend

I don't wanna be a bore
B                         C    D E
I just wanna live a rich life
                 A    Bb   B    C    D    R
And I wanna die poor poor poor poor poor poor
                                
Sorry baby I just can't go on anymore
