 AmF
      Well I was down at the New Amsterdam
 DmG
Just staring at this yellow haired girl
 AmFG
 Mr Jones strikes up a conversation with a black-haired flamingo dancer
 AmFDmG
You no she dancers well his father plays guitar and she's suddenly beautiful
 AmFG
And we all want something beautiful…man I wish I was beautiful lalalala
 AmF
Oh, cut up Maria,
 DmG
Come on, show me some of them Spanish dancers
 AmFG
And pass me a bottle Mr Jones
 AmFDmGAmF
Oh, believe in me, come on, help me believe in anything, cause I wanna be someone
 G
who believes
 CFG
 Mr Jones and me tell each other fairytales
 CFG
And we stare at the beautiful women, she's looking at you nananana, she's looking at me
 CFG
 Standing in this bright light coming through his stereo
 CFG
 When everybody loves you…you should never be lonely
 AmF
Well I wanna paint myself a picture
 DmG
 I wanna paint myself in blue, and red, and black and grey
 AmFG
 All the beautiful colours are very very meaningful
 AmF
Ya, you know grey? It's my favourite colour
 DmG
 I just get so confused every day
 AmFG
but if I knew Picasso, I would buy myself a grey guitar and play
 CFG
 Mr Jones and me look into the future
 CFG
 We stare at all the beautiful women, man she's looking at you, man I don't think so she's looking at me
 CFG
 Standing in this spotlight, look at me I, I got myself this grey guitar
 CF
Man when everybody loves me
 G
hope I never get lonely lalalala
 Am
Yeah, I wanna be a lion
 F
I know, I know, everybody wants to pass as cats
 Am
 We all wanna be big, big, big, big, big stars
 G
Yeah but then we get seconds thoughts about that
 AmF
So, believe in me, man I don't believe in anything
 AmG
 And I don't wanna be someone to believe
You should not believe in me
 CFG
           Cause Mr Jones and me, we just went stumbling through the barrio
 CFG
 We stare at all the beautiful women, man she's perfect for you
There's got to be someone for me
 CFG
 I wanna be Bob Dylan, Mr Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
 CFG
Well man when everybody loves you, sometimes that's just about as fucked up as you can be
 CFG
 Well can't you hear me cause I'm dreaming
 CFG
 But I did not go outside yesterday
 CF
Oh, don't wake me cause I was dreaming
 G
 And I might just stay inside again today
 CFG
Cause Mr Jones and me, we don't see each other much anymore!
