                            G  C  Dm  C  F  Dm  G  C 
'Man i just wanna be somebody' 

( Am  F  C  G  Am  F  G  C  F  C  Am  G ) 

C                    F  
Julie's got the word today 
    C                   Am        G 
She lost her job just one last pay 
C                F         C Am 
Life don't come easy anymore 

G         C           F 
Still strugglin'on by herself 
      C 
Got a picture of Jimmy 
       Am        G 
There on the shelf 
C                      
And she looks at him and says 
F                 C C G/B 
Why did we let it go 

Am                   Em 
I know that sometimes, baby 
            F               C  C G/B 
We didn't see things eye-to-eye 
Am                 Em 
I got just one question 
       F                   G 
Did we have to say goodbye? 

          C            F   
Just like prisoners in paradise 
      C                 F 
Still far from heaven's door 
C         G/B           Am  
We had it all but still we 
       G   F Dm  
Wanted more 
G     F              G         
Now I realize that I can't turn back  
    Am       G         F 
The future's here to stay  
                    C               G  
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow 
        F  G          Am F G  
Hangin' on to yesterday 

C                   F 
Jimmy still recalls the night 
        C 
When he took his guitar 
Am               G 
And headed on out 
C               F 
To find the big time 
         C       Am 
That was his dream 

G       C 
He gave up his past 
    F 
And made it alright 
            C 
But there's something missin' 
       Am          G 
In his heart tonight 
C                  F 
Sometimes what you want 
               C     C G/B 
Ain't what you need, no no 

    Am 
He misses drivin' down 
            Em 
To the lake at night 
      F 
Holdin' his baby 
       C           C G/B 
In his arms so tight 
Am                    Em 
Ain't it hard to find illusions 
           F                 G 
When you're livin' in a memory 

          C            F   
Just like prisoners in paradise 
   C                F 
So close but yet so far 
      C                
There will come a time 
G/B  Am         G   F Dm  
No matter who you are 
G        F 
When you ask yourself 
       G 
Was it right or wrong 
    Am    G    F  
For me to turn away  
                    C               G 
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow 
      F    G        C 
Hangin' on to yesterday 

Solo Am  Em  F  C  Am  Am  Em  F  G   
       E7  Am  Em  F  C  Am  Em  F  G 

C 
Prisoners in paradise, uhmmm 
C        G/B Am  G  F      
Prisoners in paradise, yeah 

G  C            F 
We prisoners in paradise 
      C                 F 
Still far from heaven's door 
C         G/B           Am  
We had it all but still we 
       G   F  
Wanted more 
G       C            F 
We just prisoners in paradise 
   C                F 
So close but yet so far 
      C                
There will come a time 
G/B  Am         G   F Dm  
No matter who you are 
G        F 
When you ask yourself 
       G 
Was it right or wrong 
    Am    G    F  
For me to turn away  
                    C               G 
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow 
      F    G        C 
Hangin' on to yesterday
