E MajorE          A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
You have to do your best to come up to par
   C# minorC#m       A augmentedA     BB      E MajorE
From straight off the production line like a car
          A augmentedA      C# minorC#m
Till everything you put on is a put-on

And you don't know who's face you're gazing upon
C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
Could be anyone you're sending out there tonight
C# minorC#m       BB
Is it any wonder all the lights are too bright?

Chorus:
    E MajorE       A augmentedA
And you need temporary beauty
E MajorE            BB
And hope to God that it doesn't rain

You need temporary beauty

They hang around in second hand stores for clothes
         A augmentedA     F# minorF#m      C# minorC#m
And every kind of pressures steps on their toes
C# minorC#m     A augmentedA
Love doesn't fall out of a magazine

You mustn't always believe what you see

You mustn't always believe what you see
