Am                       F         Dm
   I was down at the New Amsterdam

Staring at this yellow-haired girl
     Am                       F
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
         G
With a black-haired flamenco dancer

  Am                  F               Dm
She dances while his father plays guitar
                G
She's suddenly beautiful
   Am                  F        G
We all want something beautiful

Man I wish I was beautiful

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones

Am             F  Dm
   Believe in me
                   G
Help me believe in anything
         Am           F              G
'Cause I    wanna be someone who believes

  Mr. Jones and me

Tell each other fairy tales
     C                         F
And we stare at the beautiful women
        G
"She's looking at you
                                 C
Ah, no, no, she's looking at me"
                 F           G
Smiling in the bright lights

Coming through in stereo

When everybody loves you

You can never be lonely

Paint myself in blue and red

Black and gray

All of the beautiful colors

You know gray is my favorite color
  Dm             G              Am

If I knew Picasso

A gray guitar and play

"She's looking at you
                                       C
I don't think so. She's looking at me"
                  F
Standing in the spotlight
G
  I bought myself a gray guitar

But   we've got different reasons for that

Am
   Believe in me
          F7M
'Cause I don't believe in anything

And I,   I wanna be someone to believe

To believe, to believe
