[INTRO]
[Em] [G] [D] [A] [C] [Em] [G] [D]
You [Em]say that you [G]feel
Really s[D]mall when you're ar[A]ound me
Fancy t[C]hat
I always t[Em]hought I acted t[G]otally pat[D]hetic
You [Em]say that my [G]attitude
Is [D]monstrous condes[A]cending
[C]Don't you know that l[Em]ately
I've been f[G]eeling little [D]too?
So you [Em]say my sense of [G]humor
Is off[D]ensive and im[A]posing
Fancy t[C]hat
And I was o[Em]nly trying to g[G]et on with your [D]friends
So[Em] people misin[G]terpret
Find my [D]sarcasm con[A]fusing
[C]I always [Em]saw myself as
[G]Totally see-[D]through
[E]Mama [G]says
I have a [D]healthy unders[A]tanding of my worth[E]
Baby I seem [G]bigger
Since I [D]put a little w[A]eight on 'round the g[E]irth
People [G]say
That I [D]always seem to s[A]tick out in a crowd[C]
But so did JFK
And we [Em]all know what [D]that means, don't we?
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Em] [G] [D] A, [C] [Em] [G] [D]
So you [Em]say
Peo[G]ple get blown a[D]way when they first [A]meet me
Fancy [C]that
I always[Em] work like hell,[G] just to be en[D]ough
You [Em]tell me my o[G]pinions
Can be[D] too opinio[A]nated
[C]Don't you know I often [Em]feel like
I've got [G]nothing much to [D]say
And you [Em]say
My confi[G]dence could be per[D]ceived as disre[A]spectful
Fancy [C]that
And I was [Em]just avoiding [G]being bored to [D]death
[Em]You tell me
My [G]songs can be a [D]little bit aff[A]ronting
[C]Don't you know
I often [Em]saw myself as [G]totally pre[D]tensious
[E]Mama s[G]ays
I have a w[D]ell-developed [A]sense of what I've g[E]ot
Does she think my [G]self-esteem
Is a f[D]unction of my p[A]urple lyra top[E]
People [G]say
That I [D]always seem to s[A]tick out in a cro[C]wd
But so did the Elephant Man
And we [Em]all know what [D]he said, don't we?[E]
Mama [G]says
I have a [D]healthy unders[A]tanding of my worth[E]
Baby I seem [G]bigger
Since I [D]put a little w[A]eight on 'round the g[E]irth
People s[G]ay
That I [D]always seem to [A]stick out in a crow[C]d
But so did Cassius Clay
And we [Em]all know how he [D]eats, don't we?
