Tend to be invisible   underneath these city lights

Em7                 Em9 Em7        Am7                 Am7sus2 Am7
He could break the law,  he could break your heart in two

(Went from) marginally famous to the top of the A list
    G                                   Bm7
And just for future reference, here's a tip, Mr. Belvedere
Em7
   Never judge a book by its cover
Am7
   And never judge an ugly duckling duckling by his mother
    D7
The Frog Prince got kissed, her lips granted his wish
       G                               Bm7
It's a sad world when your net worth determines your lover
  Em7
But what would I ever do without you huh?
Am7
   I prolly wouldn't have a clue without you
    D7
But one thing's for sure, is when I pull up with her
       (G*)                       (Bm7*)
Don't refer to me as Travie, you can, you can call me Sir
