[Am] [F] [Dm]
[G] Hey, [Am] yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, [F] yeah, yeah, la, la, la, [G] la, la
[Am] I was down at the [F] New Amsterdam
[Dm] Staring [G] at this yellow-haired girl
[Am] She always drags up [Em] a [F] conversation
[G] With black hair
And ankle dancing
[Am] You know she dances [F] while her father plays [Dm] guitar
Suddenly [G] beautiful
We [Am] all want something [F]
beautiful
[G] Man, I wish I was beautiful
I'm so [Am] sick of that love
[F] Yeah, yeah, [Dm] yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, [G] yeah, yeah
Sick [Am] of that love
[F]
[G] Cut [A] [G] up [F] Maria
[Dm] Show me a [G] smile
Stand and [A] dance to the passion beat
[F] I don't miss [G] the Jones
[A] Believe [F] in me
[Dm] Help me [G] believe in anything
Cause [A] I wanna [F] be someone who
[G] believes
Yeah, [C] ah
Mr. [F] Jones
Let me [G] tell you a fairy tale
Yeah, [C] we stare at the beautiful [F] moon
[G] She's looking at you
And I'm not looking [C] at me
Standing [F] with bright lights
[G]
Coming through in stereo
[C] And when [Am] everybody [F] loves you
[G]
You can never be lonely
Well, [Am] I wanna [Em] paint [F] my picture
[Dm] Paint myself [G] blue, red, black [Am] and gray
All [G] the [F] beautiful colors are very [G]
meaningful
Yeah, you [Am] know gray is [G] my [F] favorite color
[Dm]
I felt so [G] symbolic yesterday
[Am]
If I knew [F] Picasso
[G] I'd buy myself gray, [C] tar and clay
Mr. [F] Jones
Let me [G] look into the [C] future
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful [F] moon
[G] She's looking at you
And I'm not looking [C] at me
Standing in the [F] spotlight
I [G] bought myself a gray guitar
And when [C] [F] everybody loves me
[G] I'll never be
[A] lonely
[Am] I [F] [Dm] [F]
said [Am] I'm never gonna be [G] [B] lonely
[Am] I wanna be a lion
[F] Everybody wanna pass as [Am] cats
We all wanna be big, big stars
[G] Yeah, but different reasons for that
[A] [Am] Believe in me
