  Subject: CRD: JAMES DEAN by GOO GOO DOLLS

  

  "JAMES DEAN" by the Goo Goo Dolls

  from the album "JED"

  

  The major part of the song is D - A - G - G, through the intro and

  verses and most of the choruses. The pre-chorus and the other part

  of the choruses ("I wanna be oversexed...") is Em - G - Am - Am.

  These are all open chords played on an acoustic.

  

  

  VERSE 1

  Look around outside

  Ain't nothin' to do but hang around

  Thinkin' 'bout all the stupid things that I've done

  I guess I ain't nothin' but a clown

  

  PRE-CHORUS

  And if I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing

  And I don't even think about all the things my wish'd bring,

  cause...

  

  CHORUS 

  I just wanna be James Dean

  I just wanna be James Dean

  I just wanna be James Dean

  ...For a day

  

  I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me, 

  I'm such a jerk

  

  And I just wanna be James Dean

  ...For a day

  

  VERSE 2

  Think about stories of the actors and the movie stars

  Sittin' here watchin' the old men drinkin' at the bar

  I think about Dean and all the things he shoulda tried

  I think about Dean and all the ways he coulda die

  Yeah, died...

  

  PRE-CHORUS

  And I wouldn't give a shit about anything cause I'd be such a big

  movie star

  But that don't really do me much good just cryin' at the bar

  

  CHORUS

  I just wanna be James Dean

  I just wanna be James Dean

  I just wanna be James Dean

  ...For a day

  

  See but I'm overworked and undersexed and look at me, 

  I'm such a wreck

  

  And I just wanna be James Dean

  ...For a day

  

  VERSE 3

  I'm goin' crazy cause I'm always all alone

  I'm goin' crazy, no one calls me on the phone

  I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn't care

  If I was Dean I know there'd be somebody there

  Yeah, there'd be somebody there for me

  

  Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say

  And then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay...

  No...

  

  CHORUS

  I don't wanna be James Dean

  I don't wanna be James Dean

  I don't wanna be James Dean

  ...Anymore...
