Em G D A C Em G D

    Em           G
You say that you feel
        D                  A 
Really small when you're around me
       C
Fancy that
          Em              G         D
I always thought I acted totally pathetic

    Em          G
You say that my attitude
   D               A
Is monstrous condescending
C                    Em
Don't you know that lately
           G             D
I've been feeling little too?

       Em              G 
So you say my sense of humor
      D            A
Is offensive and imposing
       C
Fancy that
           Em             G               D
And I was only trying to get on with your friends

  Em           G
So people misinterpret
        D          A
Find my sarcasm confusing
C        Em
I always saw myself as
G           D
Totally see-through

E    G
Mama says
         D             A                  E
I have a healthy understanding of my worth
            G
Baby I seem bigger
        D             A                    E
Since I put a little weight on 'round the girth 

       G
People say
       D               A                  C
That I always seem to stick out in a crowd
But so did JFK
       Em            D
And we all know what that means, don't we?


[Instrumental]

Em G D A, C Em G D

       Em
So you say 
   G              D                   A
People get blown away when they first meet me
      C
Fancy that
        Em              G             D
I always work like hell, just to be enough

    Em          G
You tell me my opinions 
      D          A
Can be too opinionated
C                      Em
Don't you know I often feel like
         G               D
I've got nothing much to say

        Em
And you say
        G                 D              A
My confidence could be perceived as disrespectful
      C
Fancy that
          Em            G              D
And I was just avoiding being bored to death

Em
You tell me 
   G              D             A 
My songs can be a little bit affronting
C     
Don't you know
        Em            G          D
I often saw myself as totally pretensious

E     G
Mama says
          D             A                   E
I have a well-developed sense of what I've got
                  G
Does she think my self-esteem
      D              A             E
Is a function of my purple lyra top

       G
People say 
       D               A                C
That I always seem to stick out in a crowd
But so did the Elephant Man
       Em            D                 E
And we all know what he said, don't we?

     G
Mama says
         D             A                  E
I have a healthy understanding of my worth
            G
Baby I seem bigger
        D             A                    E
Since I put a little weight on 'round the girth 

        G
People say
       D              A                  C
That I always seem to stick out in a crowd
But so did Cassius Clay
       Em              D
And we all know how he eats, don't we?
