 Am                            F
 I was down at the New Amsterdam 
    Dm                       G
 staring at this yellow-haired girl. Mr. 
 Am                                   F
 Jones strikes up a conversation, with this 
 G                             Am
 black-haired, flamenco dancer. She dances while 
            F             Dm
 her father plays, guitar. She's suddenly 
 G                  Am               F            G
 beautiful.      We all want something beautiful. I 
                          Am
 wish I was beautiful.     So come dance this silence 
 F                                 Dm        G
 down through the morning. sha la la la la la 
       Am       F  G      Am        F

 Am        F           G      Am
 Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones. Believe in 
 F     Dm                             G

 Am                 F                      G
 I, want to be someone who believes, yeah... 

Chorus:
 C      F          G
 Mr. Jones and me, tell each other fairy 
           C               F
 tales, yeah well we stare      at the beautiful women 
      G
 "She's looking at you. Ah,      no, no, she's looking 
    C                F          G
 at me." Smiling in the bright lights. Coming 
                C  F
 through in stereo. When everybody loves you, 
 G
 you can never be lonely. 

Verse 2:
 Am       F      Dm
 Im gonna paint my      picture. Paint myself in 
 G               Am
 blue and red and black and gray. All of the 
      F               G
 beautiful colors are very very meaningful. You 
 Am          F      Dm
 know gray is my favorite color. I felt so 
 G      Am          F      G
 symbolic,      yesterday. If I knew Picasso, I would buy 
           C          
 myself a gray guitar and play, 

Refrain:
 F
 Mr. Jones and 
    G               C
 me look into the future. We stare at the 
      F      G
 beautiful      women "She's looking at you. Uh, I 
                C
 don't think so.      She's looking at me." Standing 
        F         G
 in the spotlight. I bought myself a gray 
         C       F          G
 guitar. When everybody loves me, I will never 
      Am          Fmaj7  Am
 be lonely,      I will never be lonely, I'm never gonna 
        G      Am
 be lonely.      I want to     be a lion. 
 Fmaj7 Am
 Everybody wants to pass as cats. We 
                G
 all want to be big, big stars, but we've got 
                Am
 different reasons for that. Believe in me 
      Fmaj7
 because I don't believe in anything 
 Am               G
 and I, want to be someone to believe, to believe, 
 C       F          G
 to believe. Mr.Jones and me, stumbling 
                C
 through the barrio. Yeah we stare at the 
      F          G
 beautiful      women "She's perfect for you, Man, 
                     C
 there's got to be somebody for me."I want to be 
        F          G
 Bob Dylan. Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a 
           C      F
 little more funky. When everybody loves you,son, 
 G
 that's just about as funky as you can be. 

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

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