I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl
    Am                       F                G

Am                   F            Dm                      G
She dances while his father plays guitar.  She´s suddenly beautiful
   Am                 F           G
We all want something beautiful   I wish I was beautiful
        Am                 F
So come dance this silence down through the morning
Dm           G           Am        F    G          *

Cut up, Maria!  Show me some of them Spanish dances
Am        F           G
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Am         F    Dm                 G
Believe in me   Help me believe in anything
        Am           F             G

C    F           G
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
C                      F
Stare at the beautiful women
G
"She´s looking at you.  Ah, no, no, she´s looking at me."
C              F               G
Smiling in the bright lights   Coming through in stereo
     C         F          G
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
Am              F         Dm              G
I will paint my picture   Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
Am                   F               G
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
           Am                  F       Dm         G         *
(you know) Gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday
Am          F             G
If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
C   F            G
Mr. Jones and me look into the future
C                      F
Stare at the beautiful women
G
"She´s looking at you.  Uh, I don´t think so.  She´s looking at me."
C               F         G
Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar
     C         F         G                   Am
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
                Am
I will never be lonely
                    G
I will never be lonely
Am                   F
I want to be a lion  Everybody wants to pass as cats
Am                                   G
We all want to be big big stars, but we got different reasons for that.
Am                      F
Believe in me because I don´t believe in anything
    Am                               G
and I want to be someone to believe, to believe, to believe.
C   F            G
Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
        C                      F
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
       G
"She´s perfect for you, Man, there´s got to be somebody for me."
C                F
I want to be Bob Dylan
    G
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
     C         F          G
When everybody loves you, son, that´s just about as funky as you can be.
C    F           G
Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
       C               F                 G
When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me.
C                 F                 G
We all want to be big stars, but we don´t know why, and we don´t know how.
         C           F                    G
But when everybody loves me, I´m going to be just about as happy as I can
be.
C   F             G
Mr. Jones and me, we´re gonna be big stars.....
