[Verse]
Am       Am/G              F7
 So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise
E7                                Am
 You better see right through that mother's eyes
Am                Am/G                F7
 Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
E7                           Am
 The one mistake you made was in your head


[Chorus]
| D5  C/D D5 | D5  C/D D5 | D5  C/D D5 | D5  C/D D5 |

[Verse]
Am             Am/G                 F7
 You live with straights who tell you you was king
E7                            Am
 Jump when your momma tell you anything
Am        Am/G              F7
 The only thing you done was yesterday
E7                                  Am
 And since you're gone you're just a-nother day

[Verse]
Am        Am/G           F7
 A pretty face may last a year or two
E7                               Am
 But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
Am             Am/G         F7
 The sound you make is muzak to my ears
E7                              Am
 You must-a learned something in all those years
