The *’s mean it’s the chord an octave higher, so figure that out yourself. (Are we starting from the beginning or what? Yeah.) Intro: B A D F#* (x2) G* D* E* A G A E* (All x2) Verse 1: B A D F#* The man on the television said I need to drink this, B A D F#* And sleep with that in order to be cool. G* D* E* A And you know that I would do almost anything, G A E* To be like that guy on TV. G* D* E* A I know that if I had just the right outfit G A E* And hairstyle that could be me. Verse 2: B A D F#* Don’t you know you can’t be cool if you dress dumb, B A D F#* I need to have that ‘cause everybody’s got one. G* D* E* A I think I’ll start smoking that would make me intellectual, G A E* That’s what I’ve always wanted to be. G* D* E* A I need to lift weights, that would make me more sexual, G A E* And that would be so good for me. Chorus: F C F C In America it’s wonderful, all you have to do is fake it.
