Nothing Special

     F#                     E
You play guitar for perfect - 
strangers
     F#                         
You write some words they try to 
  E
sell
     F#                          
And then you sing these things in 
  E
public
F#                     E
-- Sometimes not very well
F#                     E
You get paid to go to parties
 F#                        E
Drinking colors...talking trash...
    F#                           
And you get laid because you're - 
  E
'arty'
    F#                   E
And wonder why it never lasts


[Chorus]
C                  F
- Maybe these are wonders
G                   Am
- More than we may know
C                            F
- Well I hate to steal your thunder
G                       E
- You ain't nothing special
                  G                
You're no more celestial than 
  F#
anyone else

    C
As far as I can tell
 E                               
Call it mythology, we see what we 
  G
wanna see
                    F#    G   
And everyone wants their distant 
A    C
dreams

[Verse 2]
    F#                        E
So sure enough they want your - 
picture
F#                            E
-- And your deepest point of view
F#                                 
-- You should know you're not that -
E
 pretty
F#                        E
-- And you haven't got a clue
F#                          E
-- But how you love the adoration
F#                             E
-- You believe your 'in-house' - 
press
F#                             E
-- And half the critics always - 
hate you
F#                        E
-- So you get horribly depressed


[Chorus]
C                  F
- Maybe these are wonders
G                   Am
- More than we may know
C                            F
- Well I hate to steal your thunder
G                       E
- You ain't nothing special
                  G                
You're no more celestial than 
  F#
anyone else
    C
As far as I can tell

And I am the snake who bites his
