                            Fm7 
Well you were just too damn aloof 
                            C7 
Wearing your Morrissey t-shirt 
                                C7 
The kind of girl that's born for youth 
                              Fm7 
Well that's a blessing and some curse 
                          Fm7 
I tell you son beware of those 
                A#  Bbm7 
Who peak too early 
                               Fm7     C7 
Cause all that magic can't be froze 
                              Fm7 
And now it's you who ain't worthy 

                  A# Bbm7 
So baby when I get famous 
                  Fm7 
Everybody's gonna see 
           C7    A# Bbm7 
Awoh-oh-oh-oah 
                      Fm7 
You never really knew me 


(Repeat as in above Verse & Chorus) 


Does it make sense to simplify 
Now we're knotted in riddles 
But I don't care, do you know why 
The girls are falling like skittles 
Whoever said you needed rights 
To tame your beauty 
I'll say goodbye to lonely nights 
Girls form an orderly queue please 

So baby when I get famous 
Everybody's gonna see 
Oh oh oh 
You never really knew me 

So given knowledge, given time 
I'd take us out of recession 
I'd tell the world that all was fine 
And that there freedom's a blessing 
Cause when I'm looking from the top 
You'll all seem smaller 
Ain't that what all us humans want? 
To stand that little bit taller 

So baby when I get famous 
Everybody's gonna see 
Oh oh oh 
You never really knew me
