THE BURDEN OF BEING WONDERFUL by Steel Panther



INTRO : D x 4

VERSE :
D                        C
Why? In a world of ugly faces
C      Em/B                   D
Should I be allowed to be so hot.
D                       C
So many people without talent,
C         Em/B                               D    
Yet I was born with all the magical gifts, I got.



CHORUS 
    Em/B              C 
The perfect body, the perfect face,
          D                Bm 
It's like Gods best work all in one place.
        C              Bm                  A
But the haters hate perfection, can't you see?
       C/G          Em
It's a burden being wonderful like me.



VERSE :
D                          C
How in a world that's so imperfect,
C    Em/B                   D
Did I wind up with so much cool?
D                                C
Friends never stick around too long,
C     Em/B               D
Never feel like they belong
D                             C
Next to me they feel like a fool.


CHORUS 
          Em/B               C 
I got the grace of a dancer, golden voice, 
D                             Bm 
People seem to hate me like I had a choice
C                       Bm              A
Being this blessed is a lonely way to be,
       C/G          Em
It's a burden being wonderful like me.. Like me.


BRIDGE

D/A                         D/G 
So you say you wanna hang around
           D/A                     D/G
Don't ever ask me to turn it down
      D/A                      D/G
I'm a diamond, I'm gonna shine
            D/A 
Compared to everyone else 
           D/G
I'm like a whole damn diamond mine


SOLO

Bm | A | Bm | A | Bm | A | C | C


CHORUS
           Em/B          C 
I'm just a Maserati in a world of Kias
 D                              Bm 
Genius wouldn't describe any of my ideas
     Em/B         C     D                       Bm 
If I was born i 1453 Leonardo Da Vinci would be jealous of me
      C                  Bm                   A
But a world of Stevie Wonders would never see
       C/G          Bm    C        D
It's a burden being wonderful like me.
