Spoken intro:

I really don't think you should judge a book by it's cover

Give me a break

Intro:
A C#m G Bm
A C#m Em7 D

Verse 1:
A                      C#m
Born in the free land, brought up by soft hands
G                      Bm
Cruisin' the left lane
A                 C#m
Paint by numbers, results in numbness say numbers
Em7         D
Go the game plan
A                  E
Silver tongues and rusty lungs
G                         D
My love and hate relation, a velvet generation

Chorus:
Am          C
Too rich to try
G               D
But too poor to buy
Am           C                  G                         D
Too smart to fool yourself into thinking that this is the life
Am                  C
You're too young to reach
G              D
But too old to teach
Am     C              G                     D    Fmaj7 Em7
We got everything, or do we have nothing at all?

A C#m G Bm
A C#m Em7 D


Verse 2:
A                     C#m
Sweetest candy gets a sugar coat
   G                           D
We hit the ground running on a perfect road
A             C#m
Give me love, give me real
Em7               D
Give me something I can feel, now
A              C#m
Senses are all bubble wrapped
G                       D
All high on medication, a blurry generation


Chorus:
Am          C
Too rich to try
G               D
But too poor to buy
Am           C                  G                         D
Too smart to fool yourself into thinking that this is the life
Am                  C
You're too young to reach
G              D
But too old to teach
Am         C              G                     D    Fmaj7 Em7 Fmaj7
And we got everything, or do we have nothing at all?
