["Peter Brady"]
Intro:
[C A# F C] x 2
(enter drums)
[C A# F C] x 2
[Verse]:
C F G
Don't you see that people will like you for who you
C F G
are Cause life is like a sitcom, a senior prom
D F
And I'm okay and you're okay, grade A, ten-four
C D F
Roger, over and out, listen up, check it out
[Chorus]:
C F C G C G
There's something ugly inside of you, inside of you
C F C G C G
There's a big empty hole inside of you, inside of you
F C G C G
There's something creepy crawling on your brain
F G
There's something in you, it's red white and blue inside of you
[C A# F C] x4
[Verse]:
As long as you don't have lots of zits or small tits
Or crooked teeth then you won't be a freak, a wildebeaste
And people won't tape signs on to your back or beat the crap
Out of you or ignore your sorry ass, see
[Chorus]:
There's something vapid inside of you, inside of you
There's a sweet little robot inside of you, inside of you
So take off that silly moustache
Don't be a baby -- there's a Pete Brady inside of you
[C A# F C] x4 (with "Inside of you"s)
Next, play a palm-muted C for about four bars. (This is the "Boy, I really
learned a lot today" part.)
[Bridge]:
C A# F C
One: You act your age
A# F C
Two: You don't try to be something you're not
A# F C
Three: You find out in advance
A#(pm)
What restaurant your mom and dad are going to
C
And go someplace else
[C A# F C] x3 (with "Go someplace else"s)
[C A# C]
Lead riff -- played intermittently throughout, usually after the chorus
