["Peter Brady"]

Intro:
[ C5 Bb5 F5 C5 ] x 2
(enter drums)
[ C5 Bb5 F5 C5 ] x 2

[Verse]:
C5                         F5              G5
Don't you see that people  will like you  for who you
C5                         F5         G5
are  Cause life is like a sitcom , a senior prom
    D5                    F5
And I'm okay and you're okay, grade A, ten-four
  C5                     D5             F5
Roger, over and out, listen up, check  it out

[Chorus]:
C5                  F5      C5       G5      C5       G5
 There's something ugly inside of you, inside of you
          C5          F5      C5       G5      C5       G5
There's a  big empty hole inside of you, inside of you
F5                                  C5       G5      C5  G5
 There's something creepy crawling on your brain
F5                               G5
 There's something in you, it's  red white and blue inside of you

[ C5 Bb5 F5 C5 ] x4

[Verse]:
As long as you don't have lots of zits or small tits
Or crooked teeth then you won't be a freak, a wildebeaste
And people won't tape signs on to your back or beat the crap
Out of you or ignore your sorry ass, see

[Chorus]:
There's something vapid inside of you, inside of you
There's a sweet little robot inside of you, inside of you
So take off that silly moustache
Don't be a baby -- there's a Pete Brady inside of you

[ C5 Bb5 F5 C5 ] x4 (with "Inside of you"s)

Next, play a palm-muted C for about four bars.  (This is the "Boy, I really
learned a lot today" part.)

[Bridge]:
C5    Bb5    F5        C5
One:   You act your age
         Bb5              F5                C5
Two: You don't try to be something you're not
           Bb5       F5    C5
Three: You find out in advance
     Bb(pm )
What restaurant your mom and dad are going to
                 C5
And go someplace else

[ C5 Bb5 F5 C5 ] x3 (with "G? someplace else"s)

[ C5 Bb5 C5 ]
