EmCD
Sha la la la la la la
D

[Verse]
EmCAm
I was down at the New Amsterdam staring

at this yellow-haired girl
EmC
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
DD
with this black-haired flamenco dancer
EmCAm
She dances while his father plays guitar.
D
She's suddenly beautiful
EmCD
We all want something beautiful,
D
I wish I was beautiful

[Verse]

So come dance this silence down through the morning
AmDEm

EmCAm
Cut up, Maria! Show me some
D
of them Spanish dances
EmCDD
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
EmCAm
Believe in me.
D
Help me believe in anything
EmCDD
'Cause I want to be someone who believes

[Chorus]
GCDD
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
GC
Stare at the beautiful women
DD
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."

GCDD
Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo
GCDD
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

[Verse]
EmCAm
I will paint my picture.
D
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
EmC
All of the beautiful colors are very,
DD
very meaningful
EmC
(you know) Gray is my favorite color
AmD
I felt so symbolic yesterday
EmCD
If I knew Picasso I would buy myself
D
a gray guitar and play

[Chorus]
GCDD
Mr. Jones and me look into the future
GC
Stare at the beautiful women
D
"She's looking at you.
D
Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me."
GCDD
Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar
GCDDEm
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

[Bridge]
EmC
I will never be lonely
AmD
I will never be lonely

[Verse]
Em
I want to be a lion.
C
Everybody wants to pass as cats
Em
We All want to be big, big stars,
D
but we got different reasons for that.
Em
Believe in me because
C
I don't believe in anything
EmD
And I want to be someone to believe, to believe, to believe.

[Chorus]
GCDD
Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
GC
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
DD
"She's perfect for you, man, there's got to be somebody for me."
GC
I want to be Bob Dylan
DD
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
GCD
When everybody loves you, son,
D
that's just about as funky as you can be.

[Chorus]
GCDD
Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
GC
When I look at the television,
D
I want to see me staring right back at me.
GCD
We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why,
D
and we don't know how.
GC
But when everybody loves me,
DD
I'm going to be just about as happy as I can be.
GCD
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars
