Verse 1:
C
Well he looks at me
with those innocent eyes
Am
And says it looks like you're
wearing some kind of disguise
E
Because your hair sticks up
your shoes are untied
Bb F
I hope that you got that
Bb F
shirt on half price
C
And every word I say falls
flat on the floor
Am
I try to tell a joke
he's heard it before
E
And I don't think that
I can take it no more
Bb F
He's driving me right
Bb F
out of my front door
Refrain:
C G
Why do you do what
E F
you do to me baby
C
You're shaking my
G E F
confidence driving me crazy
C G
You know if I could I'd
E F
do anything for you
G
Please don't ignore me
cause you know I adore you
Chorus 1:
C G F
But can't you just pretend to be nice
C G F
Can you at least pretend to be nice
C G F
If you could just pretend to be nice
G
Then everything in my
life would be alright
Post Chorus:
| C - G - E - F | (x3)
Oooh wee....
Oooh wee....
| C |
Verse 2:
C
And I try so hard just to figure him out
Am
But he won't tell me what he's thinking about
E
And then he falls asleep on the living room couch
Bb F Bb F
With his sunglasses on and his tongue hanging out
C
And then he disappears for a week at a time
Am
And then he shows up just like everything's fine
E
And I don't get what goes on in his mind
Bb F Bb F
But I'm tired of hearing the same stupid lines
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
(Repeat Post Chorus)
