Intro:   A5  A5  X4
(hit the A5 without holding on to it (staccato). Am can also be used)


Verse 1:
F
I'm jaded
C
And you're beautiful
F
I'm deluded
Am7
And envious of you
F
You're carin'
C
That I'm hurtin'
F
But I'm laughing 'cause I'm lyin'
                       Am7
And you believe what I say to be true

Chorus:
            D   D/F# G        D    D/F#  G
This is the way           God made me

Verse 2: (same as Verse 1)

No self-reliance
No social skills
You're confident
And you express yourself so well
You're learned
Degrees upon your wall
I'm jealous
No invitations to the ball


Chorus:(same as before but repeated)
This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me


Break:(repeat intro chords)


Verse 3:(same as before)

No self esteem
You're picture perfect
You walk about so contented
The trees call out your(freakin')name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded
And my excuses are so lame
