Intro: G D C } x2
G - D - F - Cadd2
Some people are just all show
Well I don�t mind that if the show is worth watching
But it�s all bark and no tree
What�s more ironic than a hippie in Versace
It�s all peace and love and limousines
You got the right message but the wrong intentions
How can you be touchy feely when you�ve lost touch
I think it�s time we had a little intervention with ya�
Cadd2 - G - Cadd2 - D
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
C - G - Am7 - D
She makes you want to know her
When you don�t know what it�s worth
Now you really want to show her
Am7 Em7 C D
How she�s just so down to earth

The closest friends are the kind you pay
If they don�t balance straight then the door will keep revolving
It�s a tight circle of the blessed few
How�d ya manage that with the recipe involving
Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst
Mix it all up, and you're the all purpose flour
Though it looks delicious, something tastes bad
I don�t think I�d last a half an hour with ya�
Hey now, wake up and lose the makeup
She makes you want to know her
When you don�t know what it�s worth
Now you really want to show her
How she�s just so down to earth

What�s it like to love you
When there�s no one else above you
And no one gets to know you
Well, who�ll be there to show you
Via satellite
Well it�s like making love to a TV
It�s kinda novel but it�s miles away from satisfying
Your hangers-on say it�s a good deal
But what you�re selling there�s no chance in hell that I�ll be buying
Hey now, wake up and lose the makeup
She makes you want to know her
When you don�t know what it�s worth
Now you really want to show her
How she�s just so down to earth
She makes you want to know her
When you don�t know what it�s worth
Now you really want to show her
How she�s just so down to earth
