C
Well he looks at me with those Innocent eyes,
Am
And says it looks like you're wearing some kind of disguise,
E
Because your hair sticks up and your shoes are untied,
A# F A# F
And I hope you got that shirt at half price,
C
And every word I say falls flat on the floor,
Am
I try to tell a joke but he's heard it before,
E
And I don't think I can take it no more,
A# F A# F
Cause he's driving me right out of my front door,
C G E F
Why do you do what you do to me baby,
C G E F
Shaking my confidence, driving me crazy,
C G E F
You know if I could I'd do anything for you,
G
Please don't ignore me cause you know I adore you,
(clean)
C G F
Can't you just pretend to be nice,
C G F
Can you at least pretend to be nice,
C G F
If you could just pretend to be nice,
(distorted)
G
Everything in my life would be alright,
C G E F
Oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh
wee oooh
C G E F
Oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh
C
wee oooh
C
And I try so hard just to figure him out,
Am
But he won't tell me what he's thinking about,
E
And then he falls asleep on the living room couch,
A# F A# F
With his sunglasses on and his tongue hanging out,
C
And then he disappears for a week at a time,
Am
And then he shows up just like everything's fine,
E
And I don't get what goes on in his mind,
A# F A# F
But I'm tired of hearing the same stupid line,
C G E F
Why do you do what you do to me baby,
C G E F
Shaking my confidence, driving me crazy,
C G E F
You know if I could I'd do anything for you,
G
Please don't ignore me cause you know I adore you,
(clean)
C G F
Can't you just pretend to be nice,
C G F
Can you at least pretend to be nice,
C G F
If you could just pretend to be nice,
(distorted)
G
Everything in my life would be alright,
C G E F
Oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh
wee oooh
C G E F
Oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh
C
wee oooh

up two frets. So they‘re: D-Bm-F#-C-G-C-G)
