Guitar chords with lyrics

E MajorE   =  0-2-2-1-0-0
FF   =  1-3-3-2-1-1
A minorAm  =  X-0-2-2-1-0

Intro: A minorAm

Couplet:
       A minorAm
if you try to be an icon
         FF
then the icon becomes you
       C majorC
if you try to be a model
      E MajorE
it'll catwalk over you
       A minorAm
if you try to walk in straight shoes
           FF
then these shoes will bend you too
       C majorC
if you try to be a kid again
    E MajorE
the kid will kidnap you


Refrein:
              C majorC
you know it's true
            E MajorE                     A minorAm
the guy you know well that's just you
             FF               C majorC
and there is nothing you can do
            E MajorE                  A minorAm
just like a door you can't get through
              FF
when there is no-one left to fool
             E MajorE
don't go and drown in that old pool
              A minorAm
don't kid yourself

Couplet:
so don't try to be an icon
con the i inside of you
that picture you've been painting
doesn't look a thing like you
i'll agree that it's a nice try
but when your paint is dry
we are all just little icons
super you and super i


Refrein:
you know it's true...


Solo: Couplet: + Refrein:


Couplet:
i need someone to show me
just what i threw away
i need a pretty angel
to present it on a tray
you've never liked the icon
said that guy looked pretty strange
but you've never tried to change me
and that's how came to change


Refrein:
              C majorC
you know it's true
            E MajorE                     A minorAm
the guy you know well that's just you
             FF               C majorC
and there is nothing you can do
            E MajorE                  A minorAm
just like a door you can't get through
              FF
when there is no-one left to fool
             E MajorE
don't go and drown in that old pool
              A minorAm
don't kid yourself

              FF
when there is no-one left to fool
             E MajorE
don't go and drown in that old pool
              A minorAm
don't kid yourself
