  [Verse 1]
  C#m                          A      F#m           B
  I was down at the New C#msterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl
      C#m                        A                     B
  Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer
  C#m                          A       F#m                      B
  She dances while his father plays guitar.  She's suddenly beautiful
     C#m               A      B
  We all want something beautiful, I wish I was beautiful
  C#m                       A
  So come dance this silence down through the morning
  F#m                  B       C#m    A         B                   
          Sha la la la la la la la  yeah          uh huh…
  C#m        A         F#m                   B
  Cut up, Maria!  Show me some of them Spanish dances
  C#m          A       B
  Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
  C#m           A    F#m                 B
  Believe in me.  Help me believe in anything
   C#m               A                 B
  'Cause I want to be someone who believes
  [Chorus 1]
  E    A       B
  Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
  E                            A
  Stare at the beautiful women
  B
  "She's looking at you.  Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
  E                  A                    B
  Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo
       E         A            B
  When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
  [Verse 2]
  C#m                  A     F#m                    B
  I will paint my picture.  Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
  C#m                         A                      B
  All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
       C#m                          A         F#m     B             
  (you know) Gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday
  C#m              A                 B
  If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
  [Chorus 2]
  E   A        B
  Mr. Jones and me look into the future
  E                          A
  Stare at the beautiful women
  B
  "She's looking at you.  Uh, I don't think so.  She's looking at me."
  E                    A    B
  Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar
       E            A        B                  C#m
  When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
  [Bridge]
   C#m          Amaj7
  I will never be lonely
                    C#m     B
  I will never gonna be lonely
  [Verse 3]
  C#m                          A
  I want to be a lion.  Everybody wants to pass as cats
  C#m                                                B
  We All want to be big, big stars, but we got different reasons for that.
  C#m                               A
  Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
      C#m                                   B
  And I want to be someone to believe, to believe, to believe.
  [Chorus 3]
  E   A        B
  Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
    E                              A
  Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
   B
  "She's perfect for you, man, there's got to be somebody for me."
  E                    A
  I want to be Bob Dylan
     B
  Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
       E           A         B
  When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be.
  E    A       B
  Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
   E                   A               B
  When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me.
  E                       A                       B
  We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why, and we don't know how.
     E               A                        B
  But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as I can be.
  E   A           B
  Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars…..
