E                             E/B
Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else
E/C#                                       E/B                E
Because the posters on the wall they don't look like him at all
 
E/E E/B E/C# E/B
 
E                            E/B
So he ties it up, he tucks it in, he pulls it back, and gives a grin
E/C#                                        E/B         E
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all
 
E/E E/B E/C# E/B

A
He gets his courage from the can
A
It makes him feel like a man
                B7
Because he's loving all the ladies
                                E
But the ladies don't love him at all
 
E/E E/B E/C# E/B
 
A
'Cause when he's not drunk
A
He's only stuck on himself
           B7
And then he has the nerve
                     E
To say he needs a decent girl

[Verse]
E                             E/B
Looking at herself bu t wishing she was someone else
E/C#                                  E/B               E
Because the body of the doll it don't look like hers at all
 
E/E E/B E/C# E/B
 
E                              E/B
So she straps it on, she sucks it in, she throws it up, and gives a grin
E/C#                                  E/B               E
Laughing at herself because she knows she ain't that at all
 
E/E E/B E/C# E/B
 
[Bridge]
A
All caught up in the trends
A
Well the truth began to bend
           B7
And the next thing you know man
                                E
There just ain't no truth left at all
 
E/E E/B E/C# E/B
 
A
'Cause when the pretty girl walks
A
She walks so proud
           B7
And when the pretty girl laughs
                      E
Oh man, she laughs so loud
 
E/E E/B E/C# E/B
 
[Outro]
B
And if it ain't this then it's that
A
As a matter of fact
     E                    B
She hasn't had a day to relax
  B          A         B          A       E
Since she has lost her ability to think clearly

E                     E/B          E/C#        E/B        E
Well I'm an energetic hypothetic version of another person
E            E/B           E/C#   E/B        E
Check out my outsides there ain't nothing in here
 
E                     E/B          E/C#        E/B        E
Well I'm a superficial, systematic, music television addict
E            E/B           E/C#   E/B      E
Check out my outsides there ain't nothing in
 
A
Here comes another one, just like the other one
B
Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else
E                     E/B          E/C#        E/B        E
Because the posters on the wall they don't look like a him
E                     E/B          E/C#        E/B        E
And so he ties it up he tucks it in, he pulls it back and gives a grin
E                     E/B            E/C#               E
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all
E/C#        E/B            E
He knows he ain't loved at all
