After the second chorus, the song slows down, the chords remain the same,
just play them twice, like Am; twice in quarter notes, then F, then Dm,
then G, then repeat twice and go back to the chorus

'Cause I want to be someone who believes
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

Stare at the beautiful women

"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

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.

Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
Am G
And I want to be someone to believe, to believe, to believe.

Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio

Yeah we stare at the beautiful women

"She's perfect for you, man, there's got to be somebody for me."

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.....
