CAPO I
[Intro]
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
[Verse 1]
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
Melanie, looks a lot like Stephanie
A Bm7/E
She looks a lot like Jane, who looks a lot like Amy
C#m Bm7/E
Who looks a lot like Emily
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
Melanie, I wonder what she's tellin' me now
A Bm7/E
How she's twenty grand in debt, or someone famous that she slept with
C#m Bm7/E
Or how everybody loves her, what drugs she doesn't take, but
A Bm7/E
I don't really know why I talk to her, I guess 'cause she has big fat eyes
C#m Bm7/E
Swallows awkward silences so you don't even have to try
A Bm7/E
Besides, she never really talks to you, she's always looking 'cross the room
C#m Bm7/E
At someone who just came inside
[Chorus]
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
Melanie, how the hell'd she get to be, the way that she is?
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
How could anyone ever say they really loved her? I feel sorry for her unborn kids
[Verse 2]
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
Melanie, she looks so heavenly, she's nature's great creation
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
She better be. She has no female friends, and she's not much for conversation
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
Melanie, are you really as mentally as dead as you seem?
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
I wanna rip you apart at the seams, just to know what's inside but I'm afraid of what I'll see
A Bm7/E
I know I know I know I know she'll be in the front row at the show
C#m Bm7/E
She used to date someone in the band
A Bm7/E
She drinks until she can hardly stand
C#m Bm7/E
Some sucker holds her hand while she throws up in the van
[Chorus]
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
Melanie, how the hell'd she get to be, the way that she is?
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
How could anyone ever say they really loved her? I feel sorry for her unborn kids
[Verse 3]
A Bm7/E C#m Bm7/E
Melanie, looks a lot like Bethany
A Bm7/E
She looks a lot like Tiffany
C#m Bm7/E
She looks a lot like Natalie
[Bridge]
A Bm7 C#m Bm7
They ought to put you away 'cause you're too good-looking
A Bm7 C#m Bm7
They ought to put you in chains, before you get your hooks in
A Bm7
They ought to smack you around, they ought to cut off your tongue
C#m Bm7
They ought to shave off your eyebrows, send you to a nun
A Bm7
They ought to get you a job 'cause you have too much fun
C#m Bm7
They ought to carve you in marble, sell you by the ton, oh
[Chorus]
A Bm7 C#m Bm7
Melanie, Melanie
A Bm7 C#m Bm7
Melanie, Melanie
[Outro]
