CAPO 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
E A B B
E A B B
[Verse 1]
E G
In natural selection I've avoided all detection
B
And the tender bits underneath
E G
All with window dressing and calculated guessing
B
And a bark bigger than my teeth
[Chorus]
A E
It was the suit that got me the gig
A E
It was the tear that got me the girl
F#m B
I'm a sheep in this wolf clothing
F#m B E
I'm a picture that I'm holding of someone who is cool
[Break]
[Verse 2]
E G
Soul like a thimble swallowed up in symbols
B
Wanting what I don't need
E G
If sympathy's the answer I'll have temporary cancer
B
But that's not what I'll have you believe
[Chorus]
A E
It was the suit that got me the gig
A E
It was the tear that got me the girl
F#m B
I'm a sheep in this wolf clothing
F#m B E
I'm a picture that I'm holding of someone who is cool
A E
Someone who is cool
A E
Someone who is cool
A E
Someone who is cool
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
E G
Close but kind of meatless like actors who play Jesus
B
In movies of the week
E G
What other people wish for oozes from every pore
B
I'm the coffee not the sleep
[Chorus]
A E
And I'm the song about the song
A E
That once said something new
F#m B
I'm a scandal that's unfolding
F#m B E
I'm a picture that I'm holding of someone who is cool
A E
Someone who is cool-----
A E
Someone who is cool-----
A F#m B
Someone who is cool-----
A F#m B
Someone who is cool-----
A E
Someone who is cool-----
A E
