[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
You think we [G]look
pretty good togeth[D]er
You think my [G]shoes are made of leather
[D]

I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated,
yeah

your plastic mac

[Verse 4]
suit is really made out of sack
[D]
I was born with [G]a plastic
spoon in [D]my mouth
The north side of my town [G]faced east,
and the east was fa[D]cing south
And now you [Em]dare to look
[G]me [Em]in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by,
pass it [A]by
