[Intro]
(I wanna talk to you)
G G/F# G G/F# G D/F#

(The last time we talked, Mr Smith, you reduced me to tears.
I promise you that won't happen again)
[Verse]
G
Do I attract you?
D/F#
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
G
Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?
D/F# G
Do I like what you like?
G
I could be wholesome; I could be loathsome
D/F#
I guess I’m a little bit shy
G N.C.
Why don’t you like me? Why don’t you like me?
G
Without making me try?
[Pre-Chorus]
G Dm7
I try to be like Grace Kelly
Am Dsus4 D
But all her looks were too sad
G Dm7
So I tried a little Freddie
Am Dsus4 D
I’ve gone identity mad!
[Chorus]
G
I could be brown, I could be blue
G Am7 G/B C
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
Dsus4
I could be purple
D
I could be anything you like
G
Gotta be green, gotta be mean
G Am7 G/B C
Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me?
Dsus4
Why don’t you like me?
D G
Why don’t you walk out the door!
(Getting angry doesn't solve anything)
[Verse]
G
How can I help it, How can I help it
G Am7 G/B C
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Dsus4
Hello my baby
D G
Putting my life on the brink
G
Why don’t you like me, why don’t you like me
G Am7 G/B C
Why don’t you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Dsus4 D G
Should I look older just to be put on the shelf?
[Pre-Chorus]
G Dm7
I tried to be like Grace Kelly
Am Dsus4 D
But all her looks were too sad
G Dm7
So I tried a little Freddie
Am Dsus4 D
I’ve gone identity mad
[Chorus]

I could be brown, I could be blue

I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful

I could be anything you like

Gotta be green, gotta be mean

Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me?

Why don’t you like me?

Why don’t you walk out the door!

You want
