Ok, so I saw a couple goes at this, and while they were very close, I couldn't help but
notice something was a little off. Finally, though, I've figured it out.
With the tuning half a step down (if you want to play along, that is), the main pattern
through the song is this:
|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--0--3--3--3--3--2--2--2--2--|
|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--0--1--1--1--1--3--3--3--3--|
|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|
|--0--0--0--0--2--2--2--0--2--2--2--2--0--0--0--0--|
|--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--0--0--0--0--0--------------|
|--3--3--3--3--0--0--0--0--------------------------|
Just G, Em with the two top strings on 3, a quick strum of all the strings open, then an
Am/G (I think) followed by D.
The verses see a change in the first chord of this sequence for every line. The first
sequence you play starts with a G, but the next starts with Bm. The one after that starts
with a B and the one after that a Bm again.
Enough blabbing - here it is:

My Dad's an actor, he got the broadway blues
He sleeps outside the paper shop and buys his good reviews
But if it is a bad one, it goes back on the shelf
He says, "I don't act for anyone, I do it for myself"
But he means, "Validate me, pretty please"
"Validate me, pretty please"
When I was young, I yearned for a girl to hold my hand
And when jokes and poems didn't work, I thought I'd start a band
So far all my girlfriends have been big fans of mine
So remember, this is not a song, it is a chat up line
(It's at this point there's a key change, because that's just what Jamie's all about :P)
