[Intro]
D A D A C G C G X2
[Verse]
D A D A
You sit there all day putting meaning into songs
C G C G
If you’re looking for a hit, you’re going about it all wrong
D A D A
All that psychobabble and mouthfulls of clever
C G C G
I’ll tell you when you’ll hit the charts… how about never?
Eb Bb
Well i have studied on this and my calculation’s true
F G
Here’s a little tip that could work for even you
[Chorus]
G C Em
You gotta sing high, then even higher
Em F C
Gotta look sensitive, mess up your hair
C D
But not like you meant to, sing things like ‘you’re beautiful’
F G
And then repeat the line. and then repeat the line
C F
Repeat the line
[Verse]
D A D A
You’re not getting any younger, you’re sure no pretty face
C G C G
You got like, what, maybe a dozen friends on myspace?
D A D A
You lost all your blue-collar credibility
C G C G
You google your own name, you get kenny rogers or kenny g
Eb Bb
No, the way i see it, you got one choice to make
F G
Right now you’re caught between a folk and a hard place
[Chorus]
G C Em
You gotta sing high, then even higher
Em F C
Gotta look sensitive, mess up your hair
C D
But not like you meant to, sing things like ‘you’re beautiful’
F G
And then repeat the line. and then repeat the line
C F
Repeat the line
[Bridge]
Eb Bb
I’ll tell you what you need, consider it a gift
F C
Before the brass ring is too heavy to lift
Eb Bb
You do what i say, you get a nice looking band
F G G
You’ll soon have the critics eating out of your hand
[Breakdown]
C G F
Don’t forget the breakdown
G C G A F Bb
OOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO
[Verse]
D A D A
Who wants to hear your politics, you foaming at the mouth?
C G C G
Forget about playing anywhere even near the south
D A D A
Maybe out in oregon they’re still hugging trees
C G C G
But here we’d just as soon not think about the world, so please
Eb Bb
If you feel you must spout off about your day
F C G
Could you do it in that pleasing, androgynous sort of way?
[Outro]
G C Em F C
And sing it up high. no…higher. sensitive. hair
F C G F
You’re beautiful, it’s true
F G C
And then repeat the line. repeat the line
D F G
Repeat the line Repeat the line Repeat the line
C
Repeat the line
