FWell (133211@1)I want to try and hold my head up high
                                                     CIn (x32010@1)this busted-up pinto truck conversion between the broken concrete and the cloudy sky

FWhen (133211@1)we took this job I thought that you knew the deal
                                                  CI (x32010@1)told the boss we had a Mercedes Benz but all we got in our yard is a steering wheel
       BbWell (x1333x@1)I can't borrow this tuxedo much longer
        C (x32010@1)                   BbWell (x1333x@1)we might have to cut and sell your long hair
  F (133211@1)                      C (x32010@1)        FI (133211@1)don't mind you wearing a wig, but I won't steal

FWe (133211@1)have to keep up appearances as long as we can
                                                       CThere's (x32010@1)too much to lose, our social status, well, our ice machine, and our ceiling fan
            BbAnd (x1333x@1)if they find out that we ain't real songwriters
C (x32010@1)                  BbThat (x1333x@1)we go Dutch on cigarette lighters
F (133211@1)                      C (x32010@1)               FWe're (133211@1)gonna lose the paradise that's in our hands

Got an image to live up to here
       CIn (x32010@1)the best motel on Imposter Street
          BbWhile (x1333x@1)the Joneses are waltzing off to dinner
FWe're (133211@1)gluing old lottery tickets together
          CTrying (x32010@1)to make us a winner
