Solo:Dist. *Play the rest of the chords 2 frets down.
Well, he looks at me with those innocent eyes
And says, "It looks like your wearing some kind of disguise
Because your hair sticks up, your shoes are untied
I hope that you got that shirt at half-price"
And every word I say falls flat on the floor
I try to tell a joke, he's heard it before
And I don't think that I can take it no more
He's driving me right out my front door
Why do you what you do to me, baby?
Shakin' my confidence, drivin' me crazy
You know if I could, I'd do anything for you
Please don't ignore me, 'cause you know I adore you
Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Could you at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice
Well, everything in my life would be alright
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh, ooh
And I try so hard just to figure him out
But he won't tell me what he's been thinking about
And then he falls asleep on the living room couch
With his sunglasses on and his tongue hanging out
Then he disappears for a week at a time
And then he shows up, just like everything's fine
I don't get what goes on in his mind
But I'm tired of hearing the same stupid lines
Why do you what you do to me, baby?
Shakin' my confidence, drivin' me crazy
You know if I could, I'd do anything for you
Please don't ignore me, 'cause you know I adore you
Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Could you at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice
Well, everything in my life would be alright
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-ooh, ooh
Why do you what you do to me, baby?
Shakin' my confidence, drivin' me crazy
You know if I could, I'd do anything for you
Don't mean to bore you, 'cause you know I adore you
Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Could you at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice
Well, everything in my life would be alright
Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Could you at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice
Well, everything in my life would be alright, alright
Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Could you at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice
Well, everything in my life would be alright, alright
Can't you just pretend to be nice?
Could you at least pretend to be nice?
If you could just pretend to be nice
Well, everything in my life would be alright, alright
