F 
  Chill out, whatcha yellin' for? 
Dm 
  Lay back, it's all been done before 
Bb                      C 
  And if you could only let it be, you would see 
F 
  I like you the way you are 
Dm 
  When we're drivin' in your car 
Bb                         C 
  And you're talkin' to me one-on-one but you become
[Pre-Refrain]
Bb 
Somebody else 'round everyone else 
       Dm 
You're watchin' your back like you can't relax 
       Bb 
You're tryin' to be cool 
                        C 
You look like a fool to me - tell me
[Refrain]
Dm                            Bb              F

C 
Life's like this, you - 
Dm                        Bb 
  And you fall, and you crawl, and you break 
          F 
and you take what you get 
         C           Gm 
and you turn it into honesty 
                                         Bb 
and promise me, I'm never gonna find you fake it 
      F 
No no no
[Strophe]
F 
  You come over unannounced 
Dm 
  Dressed up like you're somethin' else 
Bb                             C 
  Where you are and where it's at, you see 
                F 
You're makin' me laugh out when you strike your pose 
Dm 
  Take off all your preppy clothes 
Bb                             C 
  You know, you're not foolin' anyone 
  
When you become
