I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl
AmFG
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer
AmFDmG
She dances while his father plays guitar. She´s suddenly beautiful

We all want something beautiful I wish I was beautiful

Cut up, Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances
AmFG
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
AmFDmG
Believe in me Help me believe in anything
AmFG
(cause) I want to be someone who believes
CFG
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
CF
Stare at the beautiful women
G
"She´s looking at you. Ah, no, no, she´s looking at me."
CFG
Smiling in the bright lights Coming through in stereo
CFG
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
AmFDmG
I will paint my picture Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
AmFG
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
AmFDmG *
(you know) Gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday

If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
CFG
Mr. Jones and me look into the future
CF
Stare at the beautiful women

"She´s looking at you. Uh, I don´t think so. She´s looking at me."

Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar
CFGAm
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

G
I will never be lonely
AmF
I want to be a lion Everybody wants to pass as cats
AmG
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
AmG

Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio

Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
G
"She´s perfect for you, Man, there´s got to be somebody for me."
CF
I want to be Bob Dylan
G
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
CFG
When everybody loves you, son, that´s just about as funky as you can be.
CFG
Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
CFG
When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me.
CFG
We all want to be big stars, but we don´t know why, and we don´t know how.
CFG
But when everybody loves me, I´m going to be just about as happy as I can
be.
CFG
Mr. Jones and me, we´re gonna be big stars.....
