Verse 1:
E                                 Bb A
  My little brother is an insect
E                                    Bb B
  He likes to crawl around his room
E                                          Bb A
  His mother shudders at the sight of him
E                             Bb B
  His pappy is a businessman

Verse 2:
Every move he makes is torture
He cannot speak words anymore
Our sister likes to flip him on his back
And watch little brother squirm

Chorus:
A
I really like the way you look in
     F#         D      E
Your imitation leather shoes
    B             C       A  E
And I don't wanna fake it anymore

Verse 3:
He took a trip to California
Strung out on Hollywood and Vine
The Tinsel-Towners came from miles around
That little bugger felt at home

(Chorus)

Main Riff once through followed by 7 measures of B

Verse 4:
My brother paints a pretty picture
These things are bad as these things get
Like dreaming 'bout the Mona Lisa
And waking up at Ruby Ridge
