A5                  F5              D5              G5 
I was down at the New Amsterdam starring at this yellow haired girl
A5                    F5                     G5  
Mr. Jones strikes up this conversation with this black haired flamenco dancer
A5                  F5              D5              G5 
She dances while his father playes guitar.  She's suddenly beautiful
A5                    F5                     G5  
We all want something beautiful I wish I was beautiful


A5                  F5              D5              G5 
So come dance this silence down through the morning.  sha la la la la la
A5   F5  G5
   Uh, huh...

A5            F5          D5              G5 
Cut up Maria!  Show me some of them spanish dances.
A5        F5           G5 
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
A5        F5          D5              G5 
Believe in me   Help me believe in anything
      A5             F5           G5 
Cause I want to be someone who believes


C5   F5           G5 
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
C5            F5            
Stare at the beautiful women
G5
"She's looking at you.  Ah no, no she's looking at me."
C5             F5 
Smiling in the bright lights
G5
Coming through in stereo
C5             F5          G5 
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely


A5            F5          D5              G5 
I will paint my picture   Paint my self in blue and red and black and grey
A5                   F5                    G5 
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaninful
A5            F5          D5              G5 
You know Grey is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday
A5        F5                            G5 
If I knew Picasso I would buy my self a grey guitar and play


C5   F5            G5 
Mr. Jones and me look into the future
C5           F5            
Stare at the beautiful women
G5
"She's looking at you.  Uh, I don't think so.  She's looking at me."
C5              F5         G5 
Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a grey guitar
C5             F5           G5                  A5
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
                 F5
I will never be lonely              
        A5         G5       
I will never be lonely
                    A5                  F5
I want to be a lion Everybody wants to pass as cats
A5                               G5
We all want to be big big stars, but we got different reasons for that.
A5                    F5
Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
A5                  G5
and I want to be someone to believe, to believe, to believe.


C5   F5            G5 
Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
C5                   F5
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
G5
"She's perfect for you, Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
C5                F5
I want to be Bob Dylan 
G5
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
C5              F5              G5 
When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be.


C5    F5           G5 
Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
C5        F5                    G5 
When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me.
C5                F5                    G5 
We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why, and we don't know how.
C5                 F5           G5 
But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as I can be.
C5         F5           G5 
Mr. Jones and me, we gonna be big stars.....
