Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]
[C]"Back a few months ago,
I was headlinin' a great big nightclub
And they put me up a couple days early,
I came in a couple days early
And they put me up in what they call
the "Star Suite"
[C]Now here I am,
headlinin' in one of the biggest nightclubs
in the country
And I wake up at eight o'clock in the morning
In this "Star Suite" all by myself"
(Awwww)
"Yeah, that's what I said, "Awwwww"
[C]"But I did what I've always done, man,
to cheer myself up
I picked up my guitar, I sat down
and wrote me a little song
Now this is how it feels to be alone
at the top of the hill
Tryin' to figure out why

[Chorus 1]
Oh [C]lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every [G]way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
I get better looking each [C]day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a [F]man
Oh lord it's hard to be [C]humble
But I'm [G]doing the best that I [C]can[F][C]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
I [C]used to have a girlfriend
But I guess she just couldn't com[G]pete
With all of these love starved women
Who keep clamoring at my [C]feet
Well I prob'ly could find me another
But I guess they're all in awe of [F]me
Who cares, I never get [C]lonesome
'Cause I [G]treasure my own compa[C]ny
[G]Oh

[Chorus 2]
[C]lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every [G]way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
I get better looking each [C]day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a [F]man
Oh lord it's hard to be [C]humble
We're [G]doing the best that we [C]can[F][C]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 2]
I [C]guess you could say I'm a loner
A cowboy outlaw tough and [G]proud
I could have lots of friends if I wanted
But then I wouldn't stand out from the [C]crowd
Some folks say that I'm egotistical
Hell, I don't even know what that [F]means
I guess it has something to [C]do with the way
That I [G]fill out my skin tight blue [C]jeans
[F]Oh[G]

[Chorus 3]
[C]lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every [G]way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
I get better looking each [C]day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a [F]man
Oh lord it's hard to be [C]humble
We're [G]doing the best that we [C]can

[Outro 1]
We're [G]doing the best that we [C]can
