A#  Dm           Cm
California, this evening
F
I'll be headed back
    A# Dm          Cm     F#  F
For my shot at the family dream

Cm                           F             A#
I am just a boy, but with a little bit of culture,
         Cm
I'll go far
                              F
I want the world to know that I'm not just a

photograph

Chorus:
     Cm
Some way, someday you'll know my name
    F            A#
If I can let my ego have my face
Cm                           F           A#
I'm not too good to say, "I love you, I love you"

Why, oh baby
Must we always make love from the back?
My eyes are up here and my legs can move on

I am just a girl, but with a little motivation,
I'll go far
I want the world to know that I'm not just
a piece of trash

Chorus

Dm            Cm    Dm      Cm
And I've been dyin' since I learned it
Dm     Cm       Dm      Cm      A#
Art is dead and artists killed it
        F           Gm          Dm     F
Whoa oh oh, Whoa oh oh, Whoa oh oh, oh oh

I am just a boy, but with a little bit of
a culture, I'll go far
I want the world to know that I'm not just
a photograph

Chorus

Oh, I am just a girl, but with a little revelation,
I'll go far
I want the world to know that I'm not just
a piece of ass

Chorus:
Some way, someday you'll know my name
If I can let my ego have my face
I'm not too good to say, "I love you."
I love you
