Verse 1:
E5                                 Bb5 A5
  My little brother is an insect
E5                                    Bb5 B5
  He likes to crawl around his room
E5                                          Bb5 A5
  His mother shudders at the sight of him
E5                             Bb5 B5
  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:
A5
I really like the way you look in
     F#5         D5      E5
Your imitation leather shoes
    B5             C5       A5  E5
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
