And let's face it, who isn't, less fortunate than I?
F/Eb Eb Eb/Db Db C(add9)
My tender heart tends to start to bleed

And when someone needs a makeover I simply have to take over
Ab(add9) Bb(add9)/Ab Gsus2(add9) G
I know I know exactly what they need
Gm C
And even in your case
Am7 D/F#
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face

Don't be offended by my frank analysis
Abmaj7 Eb6/9
Think of it as personality dialysis

Now that I've chosen to become a pal a sis-
Eb
ter and adviser
Bbm6/Db
There's nobody wiser
C
Not when it comes to
F C
Popular

I remind them on their own behalf to think of
A Bm7(no5) Adim/C A/C#
Celebrated heads of state

Or specially great communicators
Am7(no5) Gdim/Bb G/B
Did they have brains or knowledge?
C
Don't make me laugh
F C
They were popular, please
Bb(add9) F
It's all about pop-u-u - lar
C/E Dm Am/C
It's not about aptitude
Dm Am/C
It's the way you're viewed
Bbaj7 A7sus A7 Dm7 G9
So it's very shrewd to be
Gm7 Bb Csus C F
Very very popu - lar like me
