"Springsteen is the king, don't you think?"

L.A., I don't even have to fake it now  
              Am 
You were like so sick, everybody said it  
 C 
You were way ahead of the trend, ge-get it  
 Am 
Elvis is the best, hell yes

Honey, put on that party dress

Am                      Em 
Everybody wants to go fast  
                  Am 
But they can't compare  
                        Em 
I don't really want the rest 
                       Am 
Only you can take me there 
                             Em  
I don't even know what I'm saying, 
           C         D  
But I'm praying for you.

You make me crazy, you make me wild
