When I Grow Up

Chords

Standard

Am
Boys call you sexy

And you don't care what they say

See everytime you turn around

They're screaming your name...

When I was young, I wanted attention 
F
 And I promised myself that I'd do anything 
Am
 Anything at all for them to notice me

Am
 But I ain't complaining We all wanna be famous

So go ahead and say What you wanna say
F
You don't know what it's like to be nameless

Want them to know what your name is
       Am              F                G
