You sit there all day putting meaning into songs
          C             G                 C           G
If you’re looking for a hit, you’re going about it all wrong
D              A          D             A
All that psychobabble and mouthfulls of clever
     C                    G        C                 G
I’ll tell you when you’ll hit the charts… how about never?
     D#                            A#
Well i have studied on this and my calculation’s true
F                              G
Here’s a little tip that could work for even you
Chorus
G               C               Em
You gotta sing high, then even higher
Em         F                       C
Gotta look sensitive, mess up your hair
C                                            D
But not like you meant to, sing things like ‘you’re beautiful’
         F                         G

You’re not getting any younger, you’re sure no pretty face
C                           G     C            G
You got like, what, maybe a dozen friends on myspace?
    D             A           D        A
You lost all your blue-collar credibility
    C                     G             C               G
You google your own name, you get kenny rogers or kenny g
D#                    A#
No, the way i see it, you got one choice to make
      F                                      G
Right now you’re caught between a folk and a hard place
Chorus
G               C               Em
You gotta sing high, then even higher
Em         F                       C
Gotta look sensitive, mess up your hair
C                                            D
But not like you meant to, sing things like ‘you’re beautiful’

I’ll tell you what you need, consider it a gift
F                            C
Before the brass ring is too heavy to lift
     D#                  A#
You do what i say, you get a nice looking band
       F                        G                   G
You’ll soon have the critics eating out of your hand

Who wants to hear your politics, you foaming at the mouth?
C                    G        C             G
Forget about playing anywhere even near the south
D            A      D                     A
Maybe out in oregon they’re still hugging trees
    C                 G              C                   G
But here we’d just as soon not think about the world, so please
D#                   A#
If you feel you must spout off about your day
          F                       C                       G
Could you do it in that pleasing, androgynous sort of way?
