[C]
[G] [Gm] [E] [B]
[Em] You tell all the sweet [C] smiling children
[F] About that one great big [G] candy love
[Em] That's waiting somewhere in the dark to change our lives and make us [G] all worthwhile
But we [Em] already are
You [F] just don't know [Em] it
Tell all the sweet [C] smiling children
[F] That we need your fine hair [G] sprays and combs
[Em] Lipstick perfumes fine cars and homes
[F] So that when we find that love it [G] will be true
But it already is
We [F] just don't [Em] know it
[E] On the [Em] trunk of each car
[C] [F] There's lots and lots [D] of barracuda [G] flies on the beach now
This [Em] was me back in America
The [C] usual story of a man who has a lung to the shark [F] and the skin of a barracuda
[D] We wouldn't have invented a [G] disease unless we had something to take from it
Yeah, [Em] then you watch all those sweet [C] smiling children
[F] Stumble in [D] the darkness you [G] have made
[Em] Looking for the [Bm] dream [C] that's never quite there
[F] And cry cause we can't win the games [G] we play
But you sell a lot of hairspray that [Em] way
[Em] Don't you?
