E5
  when she turned twenty four
G#

F#5
  what happen to her plan?
B5
  She was gonna be an actress
E5
  she was gonna be a star
G#5
  she was gonna shake her ass
F#5
  on the hood of white snake�s car
B5
  her yellow SUV
E5
  is now the enemy
G#5
  looks at her average life
F#5          F#5        F#5
  and nothing   has been   alright

Chorus:
               B5

       E5
they tell her that she�s uncool
     G#5
but she's still preoccupied

Intro: (after ending 1 go straight into verse 2)

Verse 2: (same as verse 1)

She�s seen all the classics
she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
even Saint Elmo�s Fire
she rocked out to wham
not a big Limp Biscuit fan
thought she�d get a hand
on a member of Duran Duran

Where�s the mini-skirt made of snake skin
and who�s the other guy singing in Van Halen
when did reality become T.V.
what ever happen to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio there was)

Chorus:

solo: (guitar 1): B5 E5 G#5 F#5

Verse 3: (same chords as verses 1 and 2, listen for strumming pattern)

She hates time make it stop
when did Motley Crew become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop
Stop!

Chorus: (a little different cause of the repeat, so i put in the chords)
             B5
and bring back Bruce Springstein, Madonna
 E5
way before Nirvana
          G#5
there was U2 and Blondie
      A5
and music still on MTV
     B5
her two kids in high school
       E5
they tell her that she�s uncool
     G#5
but she's still preoccupied
