Am     F    Dm G
I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl
    Am       F     G
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer
Am     F     Dm     G
She dances while his father plays guitar.  She's suddenly beautiful
   Am     F    G
We all want something beautiful, I wish I was beautiful


  Am    F
So come dance this silence down through the morning
Dm     G     Am   F     G*
Sha la la la la la la la  yeahuh huh...
Am   F     Dm  G
Cut up, Maria!  Show me some of them Spanish dances
Am     F     G
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Am      F    Dm      G
Believe in me.  Help me believe in anything
 Am   F     G
'Cause I want to be someone who believes


C    F      G
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
C      F
Stare at the beautiful women
G
"She's looking at you.  Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."

C    F G
Smiling in the bright lights, coming through in stereo
     C    F   G
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely


Am     F   Dm G
I will paint my picture.  Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
Am    F   G
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
     Am  F    Dm   G *
(you know) Gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday
Am F   G
If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play


C   F      G
Mr. Jones and me look into the future
C       F
Stare at the beautiful women
G
"She's looking at you.  Uh, I don't think so.  She's looking at me."
C      F   G
Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar
     C    F  G    Am
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely


     Am
I will never be lonely
  G
I will never be lonely


Am     F
I want to be a lion.  Everybody wants to pass as cats
Am   G
We All want to be big, big stars, but we got different reasons for that.
Am    F
Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
    Am  G
And I want to be someone to believe, to believe, to believe.


C   F      G
Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
  C  F
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
 G
"She's perfect for you, man, there's got to be somebody for me."
C      F
I want to be Bob Dylan
   G
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky

     C    F   G
When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be.


C    F      G
Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
 C      F      G
When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me.
C F G
We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why, and we don't know how.
   C    F  G
But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as I can be.
C   F G
Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars.....
