[Verse 1]
Am                     F         
 I was down at the New Amsterdam 
Dm               G
 staring at this yellow-haired girl
    Am                       F    
Mr. Jones strikes up a 
            G
conversation with this black-haired 
flamenco dancer
         Am                    F  
You know she dances while his 
            Dm                   G
father plays guitar.  She's suddenly
 beautiful
   Am                 F         G
We all want something beautiful,  
man, I wish I was beautiful

        Am                 F  
So come dance this silence down 
                      Dm
through the morning

And pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones

  Believe in me.  Help me

'Cause I want to be someone who 
    G

[Chorus 1]
C    F           G
 Mr. Jones and me, tell each other 
fairy tales
    C                          F
and we stare at the beautiful women
       G                     G    
"She's looking at you.  Ah, no, 
                    C
no, she's looking at me."

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

[Verse 2]

      Am              F       
Well, I will paint my picture.  
Dm                G
Paint myself in blue and red and 
black and gray
Am                    F          
 All of the beautiful colors are 
          G
very, very meaningful (yeah, well 
you know)
Am                   F       Dm 
Gray is my favorite color  I-I 
          G
felt so symbolic yesterday
Am           F             G
 If I knew Picasso I would buy 
myself a gray guitar and play


[Chorus 2]

C    F            G
 Mr. Jones and me, look into the 
future
        C                      F
yeah we 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 gray guitar
     C           F       G       
When everybody lo-ves me,  I will
                 Am
 never be lo-one-ly

[Bridge]
                Fmaj7
I will never be lonely
          Am              G
I'm never gonna be looone-ly
Am                   F
I want to be a lion.  Everybody 
wants to pass as cats
Am                                
We all want to be big, big stars, 
        G
yeah but we got different reasons 
for that.
Am                       F
 Believe in me because I don't 
believe in anything
    Am                             
And I want to be someone to 
 G
believe, to believe, to believe.


[Chorus 3]

C    F            G
 Mr. Jones and me, stumbling through
 the barrio
        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, ah son, 
that's just about as funky as you 
can be.

C    F            G
 Mr. Jones and me, staring at the 
video
       C               F       
When I look at the television, I 
          G
want to see me staring right back at
 me.
C                 F              
We all want to be big stars, but 
   G
we don't know why, and we don't know
 how.
         C               F     
But when everybody loves me, I'm 
           G
going to be just about as happy as I
 can be.

C   F            G
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big
 stars.....
