Am F Dm G Am F Dm G
Sha la la la la la

Am F Dm G
I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow haired girl
Am F G
Mr. Jones strikes up this conversation whith this black haired flamenco dancer
Am F Dm G
She dances while his father playes guitar. She's suddenly beautiful
Am F G
We all want something beautiful I wish I was beautiful

Am F Dm G
So come dance this silence down through the morning. Sha la la la la la
Am F G
Uh, huh...

Am F Dm G
Cut up Maria! Show me some of them spanish dances.
Am F G
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Am F Dm G
Believe in me Help me believe in anything
Am F G
(cause) I want to be someone who believes

C F G
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
C F
Stare at the beautiful women
G
"She's looking at you. Ah no, no she's looking at me."
C F
Smiling in the bright lights
G
Coming through in stereo
C F G
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

Am F Dm G
I will paint my picture Paint my self in blue and red and black and grey
Am F G
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Am F Dm G
(You know) Gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday
Am F G
If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a grey guitar and play

C F G
Mr. Jones and me look into the future
C F
Stare at the beautiful women
G
"She's looking at you. Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me."
C F G
Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a grey guitar
C F G Am
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

G
I will never be lonely
Am G
I will never be lonely
Am G
I want to be a lion Everybody wants to pass as cats
Am G
We all want to be big big stars, but we got diffrent reasons for that.
Am G
Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
Am G
and I want to be someone to believe, to believe, to believe.

C F G
Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrier
C F
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
G
"She's perfect for you, Man, there's got to be Somebody for me."
C F
I want to be Bob Dylan
G
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
C F G
When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be.
C F G
Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
C F G
When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me.
C F G
We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why, and we don't know how.
C F G
But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as I can be.
C F G
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars.....
